WHAT: “Migration and Displacement in a Changing Climate”
WHO: Dr. Robert McLeman
WHEN: Webinar – Sunday, April 7, 2024, 2pm-3:30 pm PT (Begins 3pm MT, 4pm CT, 5pm ET, 11am HT, 9pm London, 8am Sydney + 1 day)
WHERE: ZOOM Online Ministry

DESCRIPTION: Each year over 20 million people globally are displaced from their homes by floods, storms, droughts, wildfires and other extreme weather events that are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. The World bank has estimated that, if no action is taken to curb global greenhouse gas emissions and foster sustainable development, over 200 million people may be displaced by the impacts of climate change by 2050. This webinar will review current science on the relationship between environmental change and migration and identifies pathways for action to avoid worst case scenarios from occurring.

Dr. Robert McLeman is an Environmental Professor at Wilford Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He specializes in research on the human dimensions of environmental change, with particular attention to the relation between climate change, migration, and security.

He is currently a Coordinating Lead Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, on Climate Change’s working group on impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation. A Canadian foreign service officer, Dr. McLeman has lived and worked in Belgrade, Hong Kong, New Delhi, Seattle, and Vienna. He has advised UN agencies, the World Bank, and governments in Canada, the US, and Europe on issues related to climate change, migration, and security.
