Who Pays When Climate Change Hits the Coast?

This summer, communities across the country have been affected by deadly storms, record-breaking heat, and devastating fires. As extreme weather and rising seas reshape the map, Jake Bittle, author of The Great Displacement, tells the human stories behind climate migration and disaster recovery. Bittle is a staff writer for the climate news site The Grist, whose reporting also has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and other national publications. This eye-opening program will explore the question: Who bears the cost when the climate crisis hits home? This timely conversation will also feature local voices discussing the current efforts of Cape communities in response to climate change, and what we can do to mitigate the damage caused by a changing climate.
