It is inevitable that as global warming intensifies hurricanes, exacerbates drought, and adds to resource shortages, we will need to prepare for extreme conditions and responses, and this includes human migration. Some estimates suggest that as many as 200 million people could become climate migrants by 2050. The panelists will therefore discuss the implications of climate migration with regard to adaptation strategies, frameworks for addressing internal and international movements, and new, comprehensive strategies to deal with unique challenges.

Please join us for a discussion of this delicate intersection of climate change, development, and human migration.

Join us for a discussion about the role that community partners play in schools that have an expanded school calendar. A new report from the Center for American Progress will launch the discussion. The report profiles community partnerships that four traditional public schools and one charter school have further developed to carry out their expanded school schedule. The lessons that these schools and community providers have learned—invaluable to practitioners and policymakers alike—will be shared.

A new policy brief examining how the successes of expanded learning time schools can be scaled up in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act will also be highlighted.
