Kaitlin Raimi addresses climate migration on Core Conversations podcast

August 8, 2024

As climate-induced migration increases in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world, what are the potential policies to help communities adapt and support residents?

In a new Core Conversations podcast, Kaitlin Raimi explores how Americans view climate migrants, how policies could become a crucial factor influencing climate migration, and what the broader impacts of migration may mean for American society and the economy.

Raimi and podcast host Maiclaire Bolton Smith examine how regions like the Rust Belt might emerge as new havens for climate migrants and what measures communities can adopt to enhance their resilience. 

"Both as climate change happens more and as those policies might get changed, or as insurers refuse to insure people in particular areas, I think those signals are going to come through a lot more strongly than they have been."
