Nomad Century - How to Survive the Climate Upheaval - Gaia Vince
Nomad Century is an urgent investigation of the most underreported, seismic consequence of climate change: how it will force us to change where – and how – we live. Gaia Vince’s latest book is packed with solutions and also a rousing call to arms, describing how we can plan for and manage the now unavoidable climate migration while we restore the planet to a fully habitable state.
In partnership, ENORB is hosting a conversation with Gaia to explore her urgent species emergency investigation. With every degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced from areas in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we must do everything we can to mitigate climate change impacts, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable. From Bangladesh to Sudan to the western United States, the quadruple threat of drought, heat, wildfires and flooding will utterly reshape Earth’s human geography in coming decades.
In this rousing call to arms, the Royal Science Book-prize winning author Gaia Vince describes how we can plan for and manage this unavoidable climate migration while we restore the planet to a fully habitable state. The vital message of Gaia’s book is that migration is not the problem – it’s the solution.
