According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, approximately 122 million people live forcibly displaced from their homes in 2024. Moreover, researchers at the Institute for Economics & Peace estimate that this number can grow to 1.2 billion people being forcibly displaced by 2050 as a result from climate change impacts like droughts that trigger food insecurity, conflicts over access to water, and the impacts of intensifying natural disasters around the globe.
These challenges have many more people asking questions like: What role will the Midwest play in climate migration patterns, and what can we do today about it? Please join Delta Institute for a special panel discussion featuring discussion on this important topic: Climate Refugees.
Panelists to be announced soon! Ticket sales open in 2025.
