Stay tuned for the second installation of our webinar series Preparing Cities and Communities for Climate-Related Displacement Webinar Series!
COMING IN DECEMBER!
Climate hazards disproportionately impact disadvantaged communities and the most vulnerable residents. These communities often lack the necessary access to services, resources, and infrastructure required to adapt or recover from extreme weather events, and limited ability to move in the wake of climate disasters. Often already having chosen their home based on economic and social factors, there is less flexibility and opportunity for migration for many. As climate change continues to force displacement, these residents may struggle to find safe housing, receive essential services, and maintain their livelihoods. Additionally, the stress of involuntary migration can exacerbate existing inequalities, leading to social fragmentation and increased health risks. Addressing these challenges is critical to fostering resilience and ensuring that all individuals can thrive in the face of a changing climate.
Join us for an engaging discussion where we will explore the nuanced challenges of ensuring climate impacts do not lead to greater inequity in our most vulnerable communities, providing essential services in the wake of extreme weather trends and events, and providing equitable support to disadvantaged communities facing climate-related displacements.
