Few places are as acutely aware of the impacts of a changing climate as the Gulf Coast region, in particular Louisiana. The story of Isle de Jean Charles has been widely reported, the low lying island whose residents are often referred to as the United States’ first “climate refugees,” as they are being relocated due to constant flooding. In addition, a changing climate is altering our landscape, blurring the lines of property ownership and access to housing, food and other necessities. Now is the time to discuss how current law does or does not offer proper protections for changing circumstances due to a changing climate and what legal updates are needed to recognize and adapt to these new situations.Loyola University New Orleans, College of Law, Center for Environmental Law is hosting a one-day conference for the Gulf of Mexico region focused on the science and implications of a changing climate and innovative legal solutions for resilience and adaptation. Join us for straight talk and lively discussions with policy and law makers, community leaders, scientists, and other experts. The goal of the event is to bring together those who are currently experiencing or are threatened by the impacts of climate change and those who work in law and policy to initiate collaborations on ways to address imminent climate concerns.For questions or more information, please contact Marianne Cufone at mcufone@loyno.edu
