Climate Change on the Move
The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America
Friday, November 08, 2024, 7:30pm
EST
Event Overview
Humanity is on the precipice of a great climate migration, and Americans will not be spared. Tens of millions of people are likely to be driven from the places they call home. Poorer communities will be left behind, while growth will surge in the cities and regions most attractive to climate refugees.
America will be changed utterly. The United States will be rendered unrecognizable by four unstoppable forces: wildfires in the West; frequent flooding in coastal regions; extreme heat and humidity in the South; and droughts that will make farming all but impossible across much of the nation.
Join investigative reporter Abrahm Lustgarten and Cornell Sociology Professor Kendra Bischoff for this live conversation at the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy.
