Terner Center & Labs Fall Colloquium

Climate Migration: Getting Ahead of the Next Housing Crisis

Domestic climate migration is increasingly becoming a high profile issue that spans partisan divides and policy domains. Thousands have been displaced by climate disasters such as wildfires and families are reconsidering areas at high risk for flooding and sea-level rise.What will these patterns mean, particularly for lower-income or at-risk households? Should we be planning for (even) more housing in relatively low-risk cities in coastal areas to accommodate people displaced from more hazardous places in the state? How else can we align housing planning with the latest climate science, and support people whether “on the move” or struggling to stay safe in their current communities?

Join the Terner Center & Labs for a reception and panel discussion focused on innovative solutions to domestic climate migration and the risks and opportunities that come with it.
