The Global Implications of Climate Migration

February 11, 2010, 10:00am - 11:30am

Due to inclement weather, this event has been postponed. We will notify you of a new date and time as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.

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.

RSVP not available for this event.
