The question around disasters is not if a disaster will happen here but when—especially as we see climate change increasing the severity and frequency of severe weather events. When disasters occur, congregations can offer vital care and resources for their members and wider communities. Advance preparation and planning can position churches to respond well.

As we enter another season of climate-driven disasters, it is time to step back and ask: How can our congregations be hubs of climate resilience, helping our communities weather the spiritual and physical storms of the climate crisis?

In this workshop, participants will learn about the domestic and global context of climate disasters, get connected with resources for disaster response and recovery, and engage in conversations and activities for developing context-specific disaster preparedness and response plans. Pepperdine Sustainability Alum Avery Davis Lamb will be one of the speakers at this event.

"Forced displacement due to climate change, also known as climate migration, is just beginning to touch coastal areas of the United States. Climate experts, however, are seeing that climate change is already exacerbating displacement in areas with pre-existing conflict, war or other factors that lead people to flee."

How does climate migration affect you and the larger Pepperdine community? Read the full article, coauthored by SUST minor Jolie Lowe, here: http://pepperdine-graphic.com/bridging-the-gap-between-climate-migration-and-christianity/
