Colette Pichon Battle·TEDWomen 2019
Climate change will displace millions. Hear’s how we prepare
Summary
Last summer, when the Meteorological Agency of Tokyo announced that a really big typhoon would hit in my city. There are two big rivers in my city but it'd lead to a flood. The day before, people who were especially children and the elderly could stay the community center of the city. There was food, water, and blankets prepared. Luckily, the typhoon was not big. Some people said that it’s not necessary, though, this must be the best preparation! Last year, some other prefectures had damage from a typhoon. Preparing is important.

The story also tells us about preparation. Due to climate change, it’s predicted that more than 180 million people will be displaced or communities will be disappearing.

The speaker’s idea is to reframe our understanding of the problem. Too much consumption of global imbalance has to change, climate change is not a problem. Restructure our social and economic system.
Establish a new social attitude.
Receive and provide housing, food, water, healthcare, and freedom from over-policing for everyone, no matter who they are, and no matter where they're from.
