Amali Tower Biography
Amali Tower is a globally recognized expert in refugee protection, refugee resettlement, and forced migration, with extensive experience working in complex displacement contexts around the world. Over the years, she has worked with numerous NGOs, the UN Refugee Agency, and the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Her career has been shaped by years of interviewing refugees fleeing conflict, giving her firsthand insight into the growing intersection of forced migration and climate change. This experience led her to create "Climate Refugees," an organization dedicated to addressing the unique challenges of those displaced by environmental factors. Tower’s work includes conducting country and regional case studies on climate-induced displacement, with research spanning both urban and camp settings. Her impactful work on climate, conflict, and displacement in the Lake Chad Basin was presented at COP 26 in Glasgow as evidence of loss and damage.
Tower is a member of the World Economic Forum Expert Network in Migration, Human Rights, and Humanitarian Response, and she is active in the UC Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality & Anti-Discrimination Law's working group on climate refugees and immigrant justice. Additionally, she sits on the advisory board of the Center for Climate and Security in Washington, D.C. In 2023, Tower was invited to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative (CG) on "Forced Migration and Climate Change," where she participated in a fireside chat with David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee. Her work has also been featured on PBS's "Evolution Earth," where she filmed on location in Morocco to explore desertification and displacement.
Throughout her career, Tower has been called upon to provide expertise in high-profile contexts such as the Afghan evacuations and Syrian resettlement to the United States. She is frequently consulted on rapid deployments, humanitarian operations, human rights, public policy, and advocacy. Her work is deeply informed by her personal experience of instability, having lived as an immigrant and migrant in multiple countries. Tower’s commitment to forcibly displaced populations is grounded in her lived experiences, and she holds a Master of International Affairs in Human Rights from Columbia University and a BA in International Development Studies from UCLA. She currently resides in New York City.

Amali Tower Reviews
-
Amali is an incredible human and we loved having her with us to share her knowledge.
Center for the Education of Women+, University of Michigan - May 19 2023 -
The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. The team was kind and responsive, and Amali was an excellent speaker!
NYU Global TIES for Children - May 19 2023 -
I had the pleasure of hosting Amali during the Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Forum in 2022, for the panel ‘Decolonising Climate Change Responses.’ She spoke clearly and movingly about forced displacement caused by the climate crisis, offering detailed expertise in her prepared speech and responses to the moderator. She aptly handled a hostile audience question with honesty and grace. It was an honour to learn from her, and many audience members praised her excellent contributions to the event in our feedback survey.
University of Cambridge - May 15 2023 -
Amali gave her presentation from a podium with no visual aid but kept the audience engaged throughout her talk. She was thoughtful, incredibly knowledgeable, and fielded questions from the audience in a professional and lively manner. In our smaller student conversations, she was candid and offered both great insights into her career experiences and knowledge base, but also the lessons she’s learned along the way, as well as making herself available to student and faculty questions and interactions after her visit was completed. Overall, she was a delight to interact with and work with and I’m incredibly grateful for her sharing her time and expertise with us.
University of Texas at Austin - May 08 2023 -
Amali Tower contributed enormously to the panel “Balancing the Green Transition: Achieving Environmental Justice for All” organized by the Student Sustainability Associate team at Harvard Business School. Amali provided concrete and moving examples that allowed the audience to better understand what implications climate change has on already vulnerable communities, especially in conflict zones. Amali’s emotions, urgence for action and deep humanity touched the whole audience. I would highly recommend Amali Tower as a speaker for any in-person and virtual meeting.
