Launching the Duke Program on Climate-Related Migration: Transdisciplinary Research Informing Policy Solutions

The Duke Program on Climate-Related Migration (PCRM) will draw on the transdisciplinary strength of Duke to provide rigorous, multi-method research that informs policy solutions and engages in fact-based public discourse on the past, present, and future of the links between climate change, adaptation, and human mobility. This panel brings together expertise from the natural and social sciences to answer questions related to the multi-dimensional aspects of the links between climate change and migration, and to discuss broader implications for societies and for the crafting of effective policies. The program is launching in coordination with the Duke Center for International Development (DCID) with support from the Duke Office of Global Affairs. It will be co-directed by Sarah Bermeo and Kerilyn Schewel.

Light food and drinks at the bar will be served.
