UC Berkeley Law’s Policy Advocacy Clinic and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP) released a report titled No Time to Wait: A Case for Releasing Elders from California’s Women’s Prisons (2026).

UC Berkeley Law logo

UC Berkeley Law’s Human Rights Clinic released a report titled Climate Change and Migration from Central America: Insights from Migrants in Mexico. The report, undertaken by Helen Kerwin, Clinical Supervising Attorney, in partnership with the Institute for Women in Migration (IMUMI), examines how climate-related harms intersect with and exacerbate violence, exclusion, discrimination, and weak state protection to drive migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Drawing on interviews, desk research, and surveys with people on the move in Mexico, the study shows that climate change rarely operates as a single cause of displacement. Instead, migrants consistently describe how environmental shocks—such as droughts that destroy crops, storms that damage homes and livelihoods, and deforestation and extreme heat that undermine health and economic stability—exacerbate existing insecurity and hardship.
