Climate Change and Migration: Two Interconnected Crises
Wednesday, November 5th at 12 p.m. (ET)/11 a.m. (CT)/10 a.m. (MT)/ 9:00 a.m. (PT)

(All who register will receive a link to the recording)

The immigration crisis and the climate crisis are interconnected. Climate change is a strong push factor of global migration, as weather-related disasters (ex. hurricanes, drought, flooding), and sea level rise make large swaths of land unusable and undermine the lives and dignity of small farmers and farmworkers, and impacting many national economies. Our immigrant brothers and sisters who are seeking safety and survival need our support and solidarity.

In this webinar, we will explore some of these climate push factors impacting global migration, how Catholic Social Teaching informs our response, and hear from those on the ground of the immigration crisis as to how the Church is responding to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.

Panelists:

  • Most Reverend Joseph Tyson, Bishop of the Diocese of Yakima, chair of the USCCB’s Pastoral Care for Migrants, Refugees and Travelers, and Catholic Climate Covenant’s Episcopal Moderator
  • Chloe Noel, Environmental Research and Policy Advisor, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
  • Jesús de la Torre, Assistant Director for Global Migration, Hope Border Institute
