Exploring "Lead With Listening: A Guidebook For Community Conversations on Climate Migration"

This week, Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham talk to Dr. Hannah Teicher and Patrick Marchman of the Climigration Network, a national organization of professionals and community leaders dedicated to generating equitable, just, and community-led approaches to the relocation of people most affected by the worsening impacts of climate change. The conversation's focus is the newly published Lead With Listening: A Guidebook For Community Conversations on Climate Migration, which will offer insights on how to begin "bottom-up" conversations about relocation - questions to ask yourself before you approach a community, phrases to use other than "managed retreat,” and actions and activities you can take to open up a conversation with curiosity and care. Come along as we explore the handbook and discuss the importance of high quality community conversations when approaching climate adaptation. Only on ASPN!
