This virtual conversation highlights the unique impacts that low-income and marginalized populations, including farmworkers, face due to climate-driven disasters like the recent Southern California wildfires that displaced over 150,000 people. These fires are one of the latest examples of people being displaced by natural disasters that are becoming more common in the face of climate change. We’ll take a look at the compounded impacts that further exacerbate existing racial and socioeconomic inequities on those individuals that are at the front lines of this climate crisis. The crisis further highlighted the need for stronger climate adaptation and emergency preparedness measures to address more frequent future wildfires.
