We examined how the climate crisis has catalyzed new forms of uprooting, including climate gentrification, land loss, and forced migration. We also discussed ongoing displacements that shape how climate is experienced amid the long-standing inequalities and historical dispossessions that structure the present. 

Expert panelists included Marleine Bastien, immigrant rights activist and Executive Director of the Family Action Network Movement, Vann R. Newkirk II, Senior Editor at The Atlantic and Floodlines podcast creator, and Shavonne Smith, Director of the Shinnecock Indian Nation Environmental Department. The discussion was moderated by Miranda Massie, Director of the Climate Museum, with a presentation by photographer Virginia Hanusik to open the event.
