Forum: Communities and Changing Climate

City Club of Boise and the Idaho Environmental Forum present: Communities and Changing Climate

The forum will bring a range of lived experiences of how climate change impacts communities in Idaho, or elsewhere, and what we can expect in the future. With our panelists, we’ll examine how climate change is affecting farming and agriculture, public health and the lives of those who have elected to leave their homes in search of more favorable climate conditions. Panelists will touch on health, agriculture, and what it means to be a climate refugee.

Panelists:

• Palina Louangketh, DSL, Founder & Executive Director, Idaho Museum of International Diaspora
• Pat Purdy, Manager, Picabo Livestock Co. and Owner, Purdy Enterprises
• Dr. Bill Weppner, Clinician-Educator and Co-Director, Center of Education for Interprofessional Collaboration at the Boise VA Medical Center
