Gaia Vince on Climate, food and migration: how to live through the age of collapse?

06 Jul 2025

Description

How to live through the age of collapse? Science writer and broadcaster Gaia Vince (Nomad Century, Adventures in the Anthropocene) explores how the climate crisis is uprooting us and reshaping our planet—fueling migration, food insecurity, and conflict over land and resources. Together with political scientist and writer Kiza Magendane.As the planet warms and swathes of land become uninhabitable, as fertile land disappears, food systems falter, millions are forced to move. In this era of cascading ecological and social shifts, Vince argues for radical rethinking: of how we grow food, how we share space, and how we treat people on the move.In Nomad Century, Vince argues that migration is not the crisis itself – but a rational, necessary response to it. She connects environmental collapse with the weaponization of essential resources, warning that without coordinated action, scarcity could deepen global divisions. In an era of rising authoritarianism, Europe’s apathy and hardened borders risk becoming tools of tyranny. Vince argues that surviving the climate crisis requires not just resilience, but radical cooperation across nations. With foresight and humane policy, she contends, this century of upheaval can become one of renewal.About Gaia Vince: Gaia Vince is an award-winning journalist and author focusing on climate, development, and migration.
