Nomad Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World

"Political leaders almost always frame migration as a threat. In her book, British environmental writer Gaia Vince makes the case that migration might actually be the best way to adapt to a real existential threat: climate change. As rising temperatures make large swaths of the globe uninhabitable, she urges countries to form a global group that would plan mass migration, from ravaged areas to livable ones, and work on geoengineering solutions. She offers a confidence in humankind that it hasn’t earned – consider how nationalists have weaponized migration. But it’s refreshing to read someone asking us to reexamine our prejudices as we consider life- and planet-saving options."
