Global experts and leaders are sounding the alarm bells that climate change is the defining crisis of our time. Its disruptive human impacts are already being felt in communities around the world as extreme weather patterns, rising temperatures, droughts, and other changes are threatening livelihoods and contributing to conflict.

What should governments and global actors do to mitigate the plight of climate refugees and the destabilizing effects of mass migration on international governance and cooperation? Join Foreign Policy, in partnership with Chemonics International, as we convene a virtual dialogue on “Addressing the Root Causes of Climate Migration.” A panel of elected officials and on-the-ground practitioners will explore how governments and local communities are confronting these threats, including an increased focus on mitigation and adaptation efforts as well as climate-resilient approaches to international development. In the lead-up to the U.N. Climate Change Conference, how are leaders hoping to mobilize support for international standards to address climate refugees, and what new data-driven, risk-informed strategies can support a more climate-resilient future for vulnerable communities?

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