Waldbrände und Wirbelstürme hinterlassen immer größere Schneisen der Verwüstung. Sturzbachartige Regenfälle führen zu verheerenden Fluten, von Dürren geplagte Regionen werden unfruchtbar. Der Klimawandel ist überall zu spüren. Die Folge: In den letzten zehn Jahren hat sich die weltweite Migration verdoppelt, und in den kommenden Jahrzehnten werden buchstäblich Milliarden von Menschen aus ihrer Heimat vertrieben werden. Die preisgekrönte Journa...

We are facing a species emergency. With every degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced from the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. From Bangladesh to Sudan to the western United States, and in cities from Cardiff to New Orleans to Shanghai, the quadruple threat of drought, heat, wildfires and flooding will utterly reshape Earth's human geography in the coming decades.In this rousing call to arms, Roya...

A tremendous upheaval is coming this century: with every degree of temperature increase, roughly a billion people will be pushed outside the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we can and should do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable. From Bangladesh to Sudan to the southern and western United States, and in cities fr...

We can survive, but to do so will require a planned and deliberate migration of a kind humanity has never before undertaken. This is the biggest human crisis you've never heard of."Drought-hit regions bleeding those who for whom a rural life has become untenable. Coast...

We all know our planet is in crisis, and that it is largely our fault. But all too often the full picture of change is obstructed by dense data sets and particular catastrophes. Struggling with this obscurity in her role as an editor at Nature, Gaia Vince decided to travel the world and see for herself what life is really like for people on the frontline of this new reality. What she found was a number people doing the most extraordinary thing...

We live in times of great change on Earth. In fact, while previous shifts from one geological epoch to another were caused by events beyond human control, the dramatic results of our emission of carbon to the atmosphere over the past century have moved many scientists to declare the dawn of a new era: the Anthropocene, or Age of Man.Watching this consensus develop from her seat as an editor at Nature, Gaia Vince couldn't help but wonder if the...
