  1. 🍃 How can governments from across the globe respond to the nexus of climate change & migration? 📅 Join us Oct. 31 for an online discussion on how to chart a smart agenda to address #climatemigration.

    Ahead of 🌍#COP29 next month, panelists will discuss immigrant workers’ role in the #greentransition, ways to better incorporate affected communities’ voices in climate solutions, policy responses outside the humanitarian protection space, & the cues that shape public opinion of #climatemigrants.

  2. The wisdom of resettling Caribbean and Central American #climatemigrants in southern Florida should well be questioned, however.

  3. No, Europe Isn’t Being Swamped by Migrants

    Last week, several leading European politicians visited the Italian island of Lampedusa, presented as a symbol of a continent overwhelmed by immigrants. But there is no “migrant crisis” — just a political failure to create safe routes for people on the move.

  4. "Verbrannte #Migranten in #Griechenland: Eine neue Qualität
    - 18 [neulich 19] #Geflüchtete sterben bei #Waldbränden in #griechenland - Migranten werden beschuldigt, die Feuer gelegt zu haben. Es trifft wieder die ganz unten.

    Ob im Mittelmeer oder auf dem Festland: Schutzsuchende sterben auf ihrem mühsamen Weg in ein neues, sicheres Leben, auch in Europa. Im Fall der verbrannten Migranten im Wald steckt jedoch eine völlig neue Qualität: Die griechische Öffentlichkeit bezichtigt Geflüchtete, die Waldbrände gelegt zu haben.

    Offen wird zu einem Pogrom gegen sie aufgerufen. Das Narrativ: der Geflüchtete sei der skrupellose Brandstifter, der Hellas in Schutt und Asche legt. Darin steckt eine abscheuliche Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Islamophobie. Die Staatsfeinde Nummer eins hätten nur eines im Sinn: das christliche Abendland zu vernichten.

    Eine Metapher dürfte lehrreich sein. Die US-Juristin Kimberlé Crenshaw, die die kritische „Rassen“-Theorie (mit)entwickelte, verwendet sie: Man stelle sich einen Keller voller Menschen vor, von denen einige, wie bei einer menschlichen Pyramide, auf den Schultern anderer Menschen stehen. Diese Pyramide reicht bis an eine Decke. Oberhalb der Decke sind die Privilegierten der Gesellschaft, deren Rechte voll anerkannt sind. Ab und an öffnen die Privilegierten eine kleine Tür."

  5. "With #ClimateChange expected to #displace tens of millions of people across the US, the cities that will absorb these #migrants need to ramp up their capacity to provide assistance beyond the initial emergency period."

    #ClimateRefugees tend to come from not too far away, they need housing, a job, and transportation; planning ahead makes everything easier for both cities and newcomers.

  6. Preparing for this in the coming decade will probably happen only with crisis…however…”The US isn't ready for the coming climate displacement. But we should plan to house 10s of millions of migrants in lovely, green communities. It won't be easy; we have to start now.” #climatescenario #climatemigrants thenation.com/article/environm

  7. Climate migrants: How even rich Bavaria cannot provide shelter from global warming.

    "Climate migrants in the heart of Europe, in one of the richest areas of Germany. Who would have thought?"

  8. Climate change and migration
    Global warming is changing the world. Droughts in the Horn of Africa, increased risks of forest fires in California and depleted fish populations for coastal nations are just three examples of events that ultimately cause people to flee their homes. Yet, seeking refuge abroad because of environmental factors

  9. @CiaoBruno -
    Yes, it will be VERY ugly. Personally, I predict 1-4 Billion deaths due to the effects of the #ClimateCrisis over the next century.

    I also predict that in an attempt at self-preservation, the US will 100% isolate from the rest of the world: zero human or goods exchange with the rest of the world to lock out Billions of desperate #ClimateMigrants.
