DESCRIPTION:Join the Color of Climate Youth Coalition, Fern Hickey and Miyuki Hino as 
 they discuss how communities can best support climate migrants\n\nAll are 
 welcome to attend. There will be a 30-40 minute presentation followed by a 
 general question and answer section as well as dedicated time for local 
 youth to ask questions and engage in conversation with the 
 speakers.\n\nDate and time: Mon, June 6, 2022 @ 12:15 PM - 1:45 PM PT (3:15 
 PM – 4:45 PM ET)\n\nLocation: Online event\n\nRegister;

 the U.S. and throughout the globe, the impacts of climate change will 
 contribute to the displacement of millions and cause significant shifts in 
 population both within and between countries. Some communities will 
 confront shrinking populations and a smaller tax base; others will need to 
 prepare to receive these migrants and accommodate resulting population 
 growth. \n\nThough this migration is already underway – in the form of 
 people escaping hurricanes and wildfire or deciding to move in the face of 
 rising sea levels or dwindling agricultural yields – there is no playbook 
 for what communities on the receiving end should be doing to prepare for 
 it.\n\nDrawing examples from Buffalo, NY, Cincinnati, OH, Orlando, FL and 
 St. Tammany Parish, LA, we will discuss some of the challenges and 
 opportunities that accompany climate-driven in-migration, measures that 
 these communities have taken to respond to or prepare for it, and the 
 policy changes that may be necessary to better support climate migrants and 
 the communities poised to receive them.\n\n\nSPEAKERS: \n\nFern Hickey is 
 completing a Master’s Degree in City and Regional Planning at the 
 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where her studies have focused 
 on climate change adaptation, hazard mitigation, and resilience planning. 
 She comes to this work from a background in sustainable agriculture and 
 community organizing and is committed to adaptation solutions that 
 prioritize the needs, visions, and leadership of poor and working class, 
 BIPOC, and immigrant communities.\n\nMiyuki Hino is an assistant professor 
 in the Department of City and Regional Planning and an adjunct assistant 
 professor in the Environment, Ecology, and Energy Program at the University 
 of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research aims to measure the social 
 and economic impacts of climate hazards and analyze the effectiveness of 
 climate change adaptation strategies. Recent work has focused on the 
 impacts of coastal flooding and land use policy for climate change 
 adaptation. Miyuki received a Ph.D. in Environment and Resources from 
 Stanford University and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Yale 
 University.\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/05/29/18850055.php
