Climate Refugees: Now and in our Future – The Climate Crisis is already affecting human wellbeing in almost all parts of the Earth including Arizona. Smaller climate pressures like rising temperatures have already lead to large numbers of climate migrants and larger climate pressures are now also leading to more and more climate refugees. In 2021, 36 million people fled their homes because of climate disasters like drought, flooding, storms, sea level rise, and wildfires. The World Bank projects that there will be 216 million climate refugees per year by 2050. Current pressures and future projections will be discussed. https://actionnetwork.org/events/sommarclimaterefugees
