Redrawing Humanity's Map – How Climate Change Is Shaping Migration
Fleeing the climate crisis – what happens when home is no longer liveable
The climate crisis will deprive millions of their livelihoods. People are already trying to adapt and build new ways of life through migration. Most climate refugees find refuge in their own countries, but pressure on European borders will also increase if efforts to turn the tide on climate change fall short of what is needed. Kira Vinke's ground-breaking book, backed by research and global investigation, gives a face and a voice to the people at risk. She makes clear which changes in our climate are already irreversible – and what options we have left to counter the climate crisis and enable those affected to stay or migrate in safety and with dignity.
