The climate crisis will displace millions of people. In her book, author Gaia Vince argues that we should embrace this migration.
20 June is World Refugee Day.
The annual day marks the “strength and courage” of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.
“Refugees represent the very best of the human spirit,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
“They need and deserve support and solidarity — not closed borders and pushbacks.”
Someone becomes a refugee every 20 minutes. As the climate crisis renders tracts of lands uninhabitable, even more people will be forced to find new homes.
