An Evening with Jesse M. Keenan

A discussion with Jesse M. Keenan examines how climate change is already reshaping where people live in the United States and what those shifts could mean for the future of American communities. In this appearance at Books & Books in Coral Gables, the author offers insights from North: The Future of Post-Climate America, a work that blends adaptation science with emerging mobility trends to trace how populations respond to rising risks, economic pressures and evolving landscapes.

An Evening with Jesse M. Keenan, taking place Monday, January 19, centers on the book’s exploration of climate-driven movement and the ways cities, markets and governments are preparing for the decades ahead. Keenan’s analysis moves between challenges and opportunities, outlining the pressures that push people out of high-risk regions while also highlighting communities that are attracting new residents seeking stability and sustainability. The conversation reflects a broader question of how Americans can adapt, decarbonize and shape a livable future amid environmental change.

The event is free with RSVP, and seating is limited.
