Some East Palo Alto residents–who came to California after fleeing sea level rise in their Pacific Island homes–are finding they may soon be climate refugees for a second time.   More than half of the city is vulnerable to flood, with seas predicted to rise by 2 feet by the year 2050 and possibly 7 feet by 2100.  We’ll talk about KQED’s series “Fighting to Stay: Climate Solutions in East Palo Alto”

Guests:

Ezra David Romero, climate reporter, KQED

Violet Saena, director, Climate Resilient Communities
