The Rest Is Politics · The Truth About Climate Migration – It's More Complicated Than You Think · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

And I mean, it's not huge.

It gives, I think, up to around 280 Tuvaluan citizens the right to migrate each year.

Now, obviously, Tuvalu has a fraction of the population of the Maldives.

But I wonder if you could envisage any kind of legal arrangements with other countries to host some part of that.

of the Maldivian population at some point?

Or is that just too, is that giving up to even begin to envisage such a scenario?

And would you rather put all the effort into making the international community kind of step up to this moment while there's still time?

There is so much more that I'm going to be covering in this series, so don't miss it.

The Rest Is Politics · Data Centres vs. Drinking Water: What Matters To Us Most? · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

Millions of us have flocked to the cinema to see fantastical portrayals of civilizations fighting over water.

Whether it's James Bond in Quantum of Solace, or the battle to hoard moisture on the desert planet of Arrakis in Dune, or the warring factions in Mad Max Fury Road, writers know that when humanity's most precious resource is in short supply, conflict and antagonism follow.

But is a post-apocalyptic vision from science fiction about to become reality?

Well, according to the UN, the world has just entered the era of what they call global water bankruptcy.

Water systems relied on by six billion people and half of the world's food production are being pushed beyond the point of recovery.

Now this marks the first time that scientists have declared water systems bankrupt rather than stressed or in crisis.

Put plainly, this means irreversible damage to natural water systems.

And that constitutes not just a humanitarian crisis with the impacts falling disproportionately on those who can least afford it, it's a geopolitical one too.

But the good news is experts already know what we can do about it.

Welcome back to When Nature Becomes a Security Threat, with me, Caroline Lucas.

In the first two episodes of this series, we looked at the report the government didn't want us to see, written by the UK's top intelligence chiefs, and which warns that climate and nature collapse pose a serious national security threat to this country.

And today we turn to the resource at the heart of all of it, water.
