What happens when a country has no land left to stand on?
And what happens to its people, their sense of belonging, identity and connection to ancestral roots?
In today's episode, we're looking at what it means to lose a country, and how does an individual respond when their home is lost?
Because we've all seen the headlines, Western nations could be swamped as refugees flee floods and drought.
It's become one of the defining stories of our age.
As temperatures rise, so too will the number of desperate people heading for countries like our own.
It's a powerful story, but it's also a misleading one.
So far in this series, we've looked at the warnings from a suppressed intelligence report that the government didn't want us to see.
We've explored what climate and nature collapse mean for our ability to feed ourselves and what the implications are of a world facing water bankruptcy.
Today, we're investigating another claim in the report, that climate breakdown and biodiversity loss will lead to a significant increase in migration, with the implication that many will arrive on our shores.
we'll look behind the headlines and discover a more complex reality.
So in this episode, we'll be asking, is climate refugee a useful term?
What support for those fleeing climate devastation already exists?
And what does it actually mean in human terms if you're facing the loss, not just of your home or your town, but potentially your whole country?
First, I'll be speaking with Alex Randall, a leading expert in climate-driven migration and displacement with Climate Outreach, and then with Amanath Shona, a former Minister of Environment, Climate Change and Technology in the Maldives, the lowest-lying country in the world.
Here's my interview with Alex.
The idea that literally millions of climate refugees could be on the move internationally very soon is one that's got a lot of traction and you only have to look at the tabloid headlines to know that.
And so I wondered if you could give me your understanding of what the truth is behind those headlines.
So if it is a myth, then why do you think it's got such traction?
It's really interesting hearing you say all of that because it just reinforces just the layers of complexity and complication there are in this subject.
