The field trip will offer a concrete look at the challenges that climate change poses to the coastal communities in Louisiana, which are some of the most climate-vulnerable communities in the United States. The field trip provides an opportunity to see these challenges first-hand as well as to discuss them with the community members most directly impacted. The field trip will also deliver insight into the practical responses that local communities have taken in light of this climate threat and into the legal challenges and opportunities involved in these responses.
