Summary: <p>At the beginning of April, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/key-takeaways-ipcc-report-climate-change-mitigation-2022-04-04/">released a report</a> stating that global greenhouse gas emissions are continuing to rise… putting the world at risk for more climate-change related issues, unless immediate action is taken. </p> <p>Extreme weather events are likely to force millions from their homes - creating climate refugees across the world and right here in the United States. In advance of these perils, some are trying a new process known as “managed retreat," or planned relocation of communities impacted by climate change. We talk with <a href="https://twitter.com/sidersadapts?lang=en">A.R. Siders</a>, an assistant professor at the University of Delaware and climate change adaptation expert on what managed retreat is and how it has been implemented across the US. </p> <p>We also talk with <a href="https://twitter.com/hiltonkelley">Hilton Kelley</a> in Port Arthur, Texas about climate-related issues in his community. Kelley is also the founder and director of the <a href="https://www.cidainc.org/">Community in Power and Development Association</a>.</p>
