Changing Climate, Changing Migration: The Benefits of Climate Migration

Publications: Electronic/multimedia outputMultimedia output

Abstract

Popular discussions usually frame climate change-induced migration negatively, often as a strategy of last resort. But migrating abroad can also be an effective way to build resilience against the impacts of climate change. This episode discusses how migration can bring social, economic, and other benefits to migrants and their communities, in conversation with University of Vienna human geographer Harald Sterly.
