Crisis Response: Tracking Venezuela's Unprecedented Migrant and Refugee Flows
Please join CSIS Americas for a public discussion on the current state of Venezulea's migrant/refugee crisis. Over 2 million Venezuelans have fled the country over the past two years. Increasing waves of migrants and refugees are expected in the upcoming weeks and months—especially after Nicolas Maduro's economic announcements last month.
This event will focus on the impact of the flow of refugees and migrants leaving Venezuela, including serious humanitarian, economic, security and social challenges in key countries in the region, and the response of the United States and the international community. Presentations will be made by each of our featured panelists, followed by a moderated discussion with CSIS Associate Director and Venezuelan expert Moises Rendon and time for audience questions.

Marta Costanzo Youth
Director of the Office of Europe, Central Asia & the Americas in the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, U.S. Department of State
Betilde Muñoz-Pogossian
