A book discussion
Nomad Century by Gaia Vince
Open to all League members
Tuesday, January 21
1 PM
Zoom
The book addresses the impacts of climate change – drought, flooding, heat, and disease – on people’s livelihoods. Vince argues that, as a result of climate change, which will render parts of the populated earth uninhabitable, we will see massive migrations of people. This wave of immigrants, moving to new cities in more moderate climates, will be a social, economic and psychological stressor that, if not planned for, could be destabilizing to global political systems. | | LWV US New Membership System:
