Screening of “Climate Refugees” Documentary

The Common Reading Program will screen “Climate Refugees: The Global Impact of Climate Change” at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 15, in Todd 216.

This 2010 documentary by Michael Nash explores the global impact of climate change and its serious destabilizing effect on international politics. The filmmakers traveled the world for nearly 3 years to document the impact of climate change, witnessing people forced to leave their homes by climatic events with little or no protection. The film features a variety of scientists, relief workers, security consultants, and political figures—all of whom make a strong case that, whether human-caused or a product of nature, the changing climate is already creating humanitarian disasters and will inevitably lead to worldwide instability.
