Workshop Agenda

WORKSHOP ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUMAN MIGRATION: AN EARTH SYSTEMS SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE MARCH 18–19, 2024

MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2024 ALL TIMES LISTED IN U.S. EASTERN TIME

Purpose

The National Academies will convene a workshop to consider how an Earth systems science approach, as discussed in the 2022 National Academies’ report Next Generation Earth Systems Science at the National Science Foundation, could be used to address climate change impacts (e.g., sustained droughts, repeated and severe flooding, increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes and cyclones, saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers, increased risks of wildfire) and their influence on human migration. The workshop will include discussions on:

Impacts of catastrophic events on people and infrastructure, versus chronic, sustained, and/or repeated events
How multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary Earth systems science approaches can help advance understanding of how climate change may affect migration, improve the ability to anticipate how and where migrations might take place, and can inform strategies to
