EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE: CHANGING CLIMATE, CHANGING LIVELIHOODS

Climate change-driven migration is already here, and it will have particularly disruptive impacts on Central America, a region with a significant agricultural workforce. In the second part of our series, Everything on the Table, we’ll discuss how climate change will continue to impact farming livelihoods, the underlying forces of migration, and how these trends might ultimately impact Colorado communities. Join us for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, climate justice, and the changing nature of global mobility.

Our panel of distinguished guests will include:

• Rebecca Galemba, Associate Professor, Josef Korbel School of International Studies and Co-Director, University of Denver Center for Immigration and Policy Research
• Atim Otii, Director, Office of Immigrant & Refugee Affairs, City of Denver
• Valerie Mueller, Associate Professor and Senior Sustainability Scientist at the Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation, Arizona State University

Moderated by Cullen Hendrix, Professor, Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver
