Our partners at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy featured the Climigration Network, Anthropocene Alliance and its members, and Buy-In Community Planning in a new article "Uprooted: As the Climate Crisis Forces U.S. Residents to Relocate, a New Conversation Emerges" - read more below! “The Climigration Network and its partners are coming at these questions from several directions. The three community organizations now working with the network are on track to conduct their surveys and use the results to begin developing local strategies this summer. The network hopes to create a small grant program that could fund similar work in other communities. Meanwhile, members have formed six workgroups of technical experts and community leaders, with focus areas ranging from policy and research to narrative building and communications, that meet regularly to discuss how to identify and help dismantle the many roadblocks communities face. Taken together, these efforts are an attempt to lay the foundation for a whole new field of climate adaptation.”

U.S. government officials have designated Tar Creek as “irreversibly damaged,” but Rebecca refuses to accept that. The event will feature a screening of the documentary short and a discussion with filmmaker Loren Waters and Rebecca Jim. RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/e6H5REHP Loren Waters is an accomplished filmmaker and storyteller from the Cherokee Nation and Kiowa Tribe. She has worked on notable films and television shows including Reservation Dogs, Fancy Dance, and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Thank you, David, for the inspiration you bring to the Climigration Network!
Ph.D. candidate and dedicated leader in federal programs management, leveraging practitioner and research skills for social- and climate-justice, community serving institutions.
A love for and a belief in the power of community-based participatory action research has been a driving force in my life for the past eight years. Today something shifted. The Robert Schalkenbach Foundation has brought me on as a part-time Senior Research Associate -- part of RSF's Resource Justice initiative. May climate adaptation collaborations between funders, communities, practitioners, and researchers produce safer, more equitable futures for our coastal Caribbean neighborhoods. That's my prayer. Thanks to the mighty team of justice warriors at Climigration Network, especially Kristin Marcell and Margaret Osthues for all you do.

Please see the request below: Buy-In is looking for colleagues with NFIP CRS experience to answer some important questions about buyouts!
Hello colleagues, Buy-In Community Planning is looking for help! I am seeking to develop models for communicating to local governments the economic benefits of targeted home buyouts in the highest risk areas of a community to improve a community's #communityratingscore (CRS) under the #NFIP and reduce insurance costs for the whole community. Do any of you have colleagues who are CRS Coordinators or have used buyouts to get CRS credit? I am working on a project with our partners and would like to test out my assumptions using the CRS Coordinator's manual and would greatly appreciate 1-2 hours of someone's time to review. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/gx3Qf_-7
