People on the Move in a Changing Climate (PEMOCC) is a Sea Grant-led Research Coordination Network that fosters collaboration among diverse experts and stakeholders to address research needs related to climate-induced human mobility, its socioeconomic consequences, and its role in building resilience and adaptation to the impacts of climate change in US coastal and Great Lakes regions. ACCAP’s Danielle Meeker assisted with the organization of the 2023 workshop in Anchorage. This was the final workshop in a series of workshops held across the U.S and it focused on Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and Pacific Island regions, and provide case studies of climate induced human mobility across the world. It included both areas where coastal residents are moving away from the coasts, and those areas where we might see receiving communities.
