The impact of climate change is unequaled. Some of the most vulnerable people in the most fragile contexts are finding their homes and livelihoods at risk.

This Just Festival Conversation will look at what is being done to help communities around the world respond to these threats, and if disaster for them can indeed be mitigated.
