Julián Castro’s Climate Change Plan Includes Creating a Status for Climate Refugees

Today, presidential candidate Julián Castro released his plan to combat climate change. Though the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has previously spoken out about a green future, his recently released platform, titled “People and Planet First Plan,” gives us an idea of the changes he’d make to address climate change. One of the most noteworthy parts in his ambitious proposal is his goal of creating a status for “climate refugees,” or those who have to leave their homes because of climate change.
