Increased climate change-related emergency disasters present critical challenges to environmental justice, particularly for vulnerable populations like migrant farm workers. Results from a rural case study exploring disparate climate impacts will be shared. Implications will be presented to inform anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and equitable strategies and protective policies.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be exposed to research findings on how the increase of climate-related disasters are experienced in rural America
Participants will use research findings to inform anti-poverty, anti-racist, anti-oppressive and equitable strategies and protective policies as it relates to emergency and disaster management response
Participants will also discuss implications for local, state, and federal government agencies through an environmental justice lens
