Collateral Consequences Series: Climate Change’s Impacts on Democracy
Join us this fall for a seven-part virtual speaker series featuring one-hour discussions at the intersection of democracy and climate change. This series will feature an interdisciplinary array of perspectives, exploring how climate-related natural disasters, extreme weather, and migration patterns can and do affect how we think about democratic representation, elections, and democratic governance in the United States. We hope to inspire proactive intervention that will protect our democratic structures and maintain, if not improve, democratic representation.
How is Climate Change Related to Democracy?
September 19, 2025 @ 12:00pm – 1:00pm ET (virtual)
As we kick off the Collateral Consequences Series, join us to learn more from the Future Bound project about why the intersection of democracy and climate change is so important. Rebuild by Design will share striking data from their Atlas of Accountability that highlights the already widespread impacts of climate-related extreme weather and natural disaster events in the United States. Finally, we’ll tee up discussion of climate-related impacts on elections and democratic participation that will be addressed in more depth by future sessions of the Collateral Consequences Series.
