Planet B: Everything Must Change – Migration

Listen on

Episode notes

In the fifth episode of Planet B: Everything Must Change, Dalia Gebrial explores the countless ways in which climate breakdown is driving the displacement of people, from the destruction of homes and subsistence livelihoods to the increasing scarcity of work in drought-afflicted countries.

Who benefits from the idea of the ‘climate refugee’? Why does gender sometimes determine who is most vulnerable to climate change? And how has the far-right shifted from climate denial towards an eco-fascist position of racist border enforcement?

This episode features insights from Asad Rehman, executive director of War on Want, migrant justice activist Harsha Walia, US journalist Todd Miller, and Tetet Lauron, a writer and advisor at Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung based in Manila, Philippines.

Look out for two extended interviews with Walia and Rehman before the final episode lands.
