Climate change and increasingly extreme or unpredictable weather patterns are key drivers of both internal migration and displacement. Playing out against the backdrop of social, political, and economic instability, these climate risks have already begun to influence human mobility on a global scale threatening livelihoods, disrupting economies, and elevating the potential for conflict. Join Foreign Policy, in partnership with Chemonics, as we explore how governments and the international development community can respond to the challenge of climate migration. What is being done to mitigate the social and economic disruptions in both receiving communities and the communities of origin? And how are data-driven forecasts, risk management approaches and local capacity building being utilized to build resilience - particulate in regions most vulnerable to climate change?

Tune in tomorrow for an engaging discussion featuring these elected officials and global development experts:
  • Congressman Joaquin Castro, D-Texas
  • Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, Mayor of Freetown, Sierra Leone
  • Jami Montgomery, Division Chief, Resilient Communities and Systems, USAID Center For Resilience
  • Justin Ginnetti, Sr. Officer, Information Management and Risk Analysis, IFRC
  • Christopher Perine, Director, Corporate Environmental Sustainability, Chemonics
