  1. ...might happen very much sooner than almost everyone now might think.

    The implications for the societal stability of the #EU due to fiscal strains, (coventional) food shortfalls, and the prospects of waves of intra-community #ClimateRefugees is staggering. --And I am momentarily excluding what is happening in all the countries on the other side of the #Mediterranean...

    The "#ClimateShip might have sailed decades ago, but humanity has no other choice but to still try...

  2. For displaced #BIPOC folks who had to flee their homelands, as kids & had resettled as refugees under asylum, into Global North regions, only.

    When was the first time you experienced #racism - after being displaced from your homelands & starting over in a Global North place?

    "Is It Time to Recognize Climate Refugees?

    Extreme weather now displaces around 20 million people each year, or more than 67,000 per day, yet international protection frameworks remain profoundly inadequate.

    Climate displacement has become a defining feature of our present. Climate shocks now shape human (im)mobility, humanitarian crises, and political debates from the Sahel to South Asia, from Pacific islands to the Americas and European frontiers.

    Even the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has described climate change as 'an existential threat.' In its advisory opinion on climate change, issued in July, the ICJ has made it clear that climate obligations of States are no longer aspirational but legal, substantive, and enforceable. The implications of this pivotal legal moment extend far beyond emissions and adaptions, directly addressing the growing crisis of climate displacement."

    Wow, - 7 bn people is a lot of decrease. I have seen numbers of 300 m to 2 bn #ClimateRefugees and share the #Overshoot hypothesis to a large degree, but had not come across that number.

    Do your models include the (likely) hypothesis that #GlobalWarming is still accelerating?

  8. No Escape: #ClimateChange is a growing threat to people already fleeing war

    12 November 2024

    "People forced to flee war, violence and persecution are increasingly finding themselves on the front line of the global climate crisis, a new report warns, exposing them to a lethal combination of threats but without the funding and support to adapt.

    "The report, released today by #UNHCR, the #UNRefugeeAgency, in collaboration with 13 expert organizations, research institutions and refugee-led groups, uses the latest data to show how climate shocks are interacting with conflict, pushing those who are already in danger into even more dire situations.

    "Of the more than 120 million forcibly #displaced worldwide, three-quarters live in countries heavily impacted by climate change. Half are in places affected by both conflict and serious climate hazards, such as #Ethiopia, #Haiti, #Myanmar, #Somalia, #Sudan and #Syria.

    "According to the report – No Escape: On the Frontlines of Climate Change, Conflict and #ForcedDisplacement – by 2040 the number of countries facing extreme climate-related hazards is expected to rise from 3 to 65, the vast majority of which host displaced people. Similarly, most refugee settlements and camps are projected to experience twice as many days of dangerous heat by 2050.

    “ 'For the world’s most vulnerable people, climate change is a harsh reality that profoundly affects their lives,' said UN High Commissioner for Refugees, #FilippoGrandi. 'The climate crisis is driving displacement in regions already hosting large numbers of people uprooted by conflict and insecurity, compounding their plight and leaving them with nowhere safe to go.'

    "For example, the devastating conflict in Sudan has forced millions of people to flee, including 700,000 who have crossed into #Chad, which has hosted refugees for decades and yet is one of the countries most exposed to climate change. At the same time, many who fled the fighting but remained in Sudan are at risk of further displacement because of #SevereFlooding that has blighted the country.

    "Similarly, 72 per cent of #Myanmar’s refugees have sought safety in #Bangladesh, where natural hazards such as #cyclones and #flooding, are classified as extreme.

    " 'In our region, where so many people have been displaced for so many years, we see the effects of climate change before our very eyes,' said #GraceDorong, a #ClimateActivist and former refugee living in #SouthSudan. 'I hope the voices of the people in this report help decision-makers to understand that if not addressed, forced displacement – and the multiplying effect of climate change – will get worse. But if they listen to us, we can be part of the solution, too.' "

  9. Climate Refugees: The Human Face of #EnvironmentalDisplacement

    By Marco Kopinke, M.Sc.
    February 20, 2025

    "In recent years, the world has witnessed a dramatic surge in the number of people #displaced due to climate-related #NaturalDisasters. In 2022 alone, approximately 36.2 million individuals were forced to leave their homes as a direct result of #environmental challenges linked to #ClimateChange. This marked a significant increase compared to previous years, highlighting an alarming trend that is reshaping lives and communities across the globe. The stark reality is that these numbers are not just statistics; they represent families torn apart, livelihoods disrupted, and futures uncertain. As we continue to see the effects of climate change intensify, the number of #ClimateRefugees is expected to rise, creating a #humanitarian challenge that requires immediate attention and action.

    "Looking ahead, the projections paint an even grimmer picture. By the year 2050, it is estimated that up to 1.2 billion people could be displaced worldwide due to the impacts of climate change and natural disasters. This staggering figure underscores the urgency of addressing the root causes of climate-induced displacement. It is crucial to understand that these projections are not mere forecasts but a call to action for governments, organizations, and individuals to mitigate the factors contributing to such mass displacement. The potential scale of this crisis demands a coordinated global response to ensure that those affected are provided with the necessary support and resources to rebuild their lives."

  10. So what's going on here?
    1) An overall falling birth rate, below replacement level in a rich country like the UK, is a GOOD THING.
    2) If poorer families are disproportionately unlikely to have children, that is a BAD THING.
    3) #DemographicSlowdown does bring challenges but they can be addressed. Clue: expect lots of #ClimateRefugees in coming decades.

  13. Unfortunately, #rich are unwilling to share their #wealth to help the #poor #adapt . Which means #migration becomes the default option. But #immigration is hated by the same #wealthy #nimby and those that are forced #suffer, too. We need to #welcome #climaterefugees and help them #settle

  14. @ZLabe but of course. How else can you further #ClimateDenial if you don't start ripping down the #scientific #institutions to solidify such denial?

    Next up, make some fake private foundation, call it "Foundation for Climate Truths", and then have it funded by the petrol lobby.

    Then, and this is keen: you crash the economy, vilify immigration, so that when #ClimateRefugees come a'knocking, you've already cultivated the #xenophobia necessary to distract people.

    Check mate, #liberals 😎

  15. Strange.

    "Overall, Australians, and especially those for whom the environment is salient, prefer migrants coming due to rising sea levels over those migrating due to drought."

  16. So yeah, #Norway might leave the #parisagreement and I'm sort of fine with that.

    Let's face facts, #Equinor has put Norway into the luxury trap of being a #petrolstate , and as such most people are not willing to give it up.

    It makes us seem tone-deaf too when #western leaders told the global south to ditch #oil and #coal, which the global south replied to with a "you first."

    Now the only thing I'm telling my countrymen is they'd better get ready to welcome #ClimateRefugees with open arms.

  18. CW: Where will we settle Pacific Island climate refugees?

    “Given the rate at which the planet is warming, scientists predict that low-lying atolls across the Pacific region like Kiribati, Marshall Islands and Tuvalu could be uninhabitable this century, threatening the cultural legacy of the roughly 10 million people living there.
    “It’s hard to swallow for Pacific Island nations that have contributed the least to the climate crisis, while rich countries continue to pump out planet-heating pollution.
    “How much more science do we need to tell these countries that climate change is real? If we lose the Pacific Islands, it will have a great impact on the global community, because we are all connected.”

  20. We need more SERIOUS discussion of how we are going to cope in a humane way with BILLIONS of #ClimateRefugees over the next decades. Much of the world is about to become #uninhabitable. I used to be an advocate for #OpenBorders, but that is not a practical answer when considering Billions forced from their homes.
