A concise, accessible, and engaging introduction to the complex interplay between climate change and human migration, this book provides key analysis of the scientific, social, political, and economic factors of climate migration.
Keeping away from dense theories and jargon, Climate Change, Migration, and the Global Search for Home details the primary causes and consequences of human-driven climate disruption, the evolution of climate science, from early observations to today’s advanced data collection methods, to the real-world impacts, including extreme weather events and shifts in ecosystems. Informed by the voices of scientists in the Global South, who provide a much-needed perspective on this important topic, this book presents key concepts in a clear, relatable way, providing the foundational knowledge needed to engage with one of the most pressing issues of our time.
This book offers a fresh approach that connects complex ideas to real-world relevance, fostering a deeper engagement with this critical topic, by speaking directly to students and newcomers seeking deeper insight into climate migration by meeting them where they are in a way that resonates with them.
