Hurricane Katrina proved that environmental displacement from climate impacts disproportionately affects vulnerable populations. Managing Risk in a Changing Climate was produced by WPSU Penn State in partnership with the Network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM) and with the financial support of the National Science Foundation. Centered at Penn State, SCRiM links a transdisciplinary team of scholars at universities and research institutions across several nations to address fundamental challenges in sustainability and to answer the question, “What are sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible, economically efficient, and ethically defensible climate risk management strategies?” WPSU Penn State is a public media organization licensed to Penn State University with a particular responsibility — and a unique opportunity — to serve as a trusted source of information and educational resources.
