Impacts from climate change contribute to global human migration patterns, raising critical questions for scientists across a range of disciplines. This panel will bring together experts from architecture, anthropology, political science, and engineering to consider past, present, and future drivers of climate migration. It will explore why the impacts associated with displacement differ across geographies and identities, as well as how we might understand the role of migration in broader efforts to adapt to climate change.
