The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs invite you and a guest to a Chicago special screening of the documentary film Nowhere to Run. Nigeria faces a looming climate and environmental crisis that it can no longer afford to ignore. Nowhere to Run explores the creeping effects of climate change and unchecked environmental degradation that pose major socio-economic, political, and sustainable development challenges to communities across Nigeria, whose population is projected to reach 450 million by 2050, making it the third largest after India and China.
