Queer and Present Danger: Understanding the Disparate Impacts of Disasters on LGBTQ+ Communities

Speaker: Leo Goldsmith
           U.S. Global Change Research Program
Location: online/virtual only
Date/Time: Tuesday, Sept 20, 2022 10-11am MDT
                    Hosted by the GHSC DEI committee

Abstract: LGBTQ+ communities are often rendered invisible within disaster infrastructure worldwide. Bias in federal disaster response programmes, a lack of recognition of LGBTQ+ families, and the prevalence of faith-based organisations in disaster relief services together heighten the risks that LGBTQ+ individuals face. This talk will describe the ways in which this reality combines with the contextual vulnerability of LGBTQ+ communities, whereby existing inequalities and marginalisation are exacerbated during disasters and in their aftermath. As a result, the immediate trauma of a disaster, such as physical injury or the loss of loved ones or possessions, is compounded in multiple ways for LGBTQ+ individuals, making them less likely to benefit from disaster relief services.

Bio: Leo works for ICF as a Climate and Health Specialist, where he coordinates a federal interagency group focused on the intersection of climate change and human health. Outside of ICF, his research focuses on the impacts of climate change on the health of LGBTQ+ populations and those with intersecting marginalized identities. Leo holds a Master of Environmental Management from the Yale School of the Environment and a B.A in environmental studies from Oberlin College.
