Climate Change and Immigration: Uncovering the Connections
Tue, Aug 20th, 2019
8:00 pm

Aviva_2019-1

Some argue that climate change causes immigration, while others argue that immigration causes climate change.  Both are partly true.  Understanding the intertwined crises—both with deep historical roots and both accelerating dramatically at the end of the 20th century—can help us think about solutions that address both.  The Green New Deal is a beginning—but we need to understand both its strengths and its limitations.

Aviva Chomsky is an American teacher, historian, author, and activist. She is a professor of History and the Coordinator of Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies at the Salem State University in Massachusetts.
