Tune in next month for a new Virtual Dialogue as we continue to spotlight global impacts of climate change and commitments by the international community and leading stakeholders in the lead-up to the United Nations’ climate change conference. Disaster displacement and environmental migration are some of the most devastating consequences of climate change. From sudden-onset events like storms, droughts, and wildfires to more gradual changes, such as sea level rise, salinization, and desertification, these impacts threaten livelihoods, disrupt economies, and elevate the potential for conflict. By 2050, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia will generate an estimated 143 million more climate migrants. Worldwide, more than 1 billion people will live in countries with insufficient physical and social infrastructure to withstand climate change. Join Foreign Policy, in partnership with Chemonics International, as we examine the nexus of climate and migration and the role of international development in tackling this challenge. A panel of experts will discuss how advances in climate modeling and data analysis are shaping the future of global development and how these tools can be applied to mitigate the root causes of environmental migration. We will also explore approaches that harness on-the-ground expertise to forecast and manage risks and design mitigation and adaptation strategies that generate local solutions to climate change.

Event Details: Oct. 28, 2021 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. EDT I look forward to seeing you online!
