The 2017 Camden Conference - “Refugees and Global Migration: Humanity’s Crisis” - featured lively discussions with speakers chosen for their firsthand knowledge and strong views on migrant and refugee issues. They explored the varied causes of the current international crisis and the unique challenges that come with accepting immigrants from particular countries, regions, and demographic groups. Speakers also examined the political, economic, and social consequences of population flight for the countries they have abandoned in the Middle East, Africa, and Central America. Going beyond the present crisis, conference speakers examined the factors that will likely drive migration in the coming decades - from dramatic demographic shifts to climate change, natural disasters, and ethnic, territorial, and political conflicts. And, turning the spotlight in our direction, speakers discussed the role that should be played by the United States, a country built by immigrants.

These volatile issues dominate the media today, and they will undoubtedly be unresolved in 2017, when a new administration will be in place in Washington and the next Camden Conference is convened.
