1. Understanding Climate Change And Human Migration with Ayesha Tandon

Roots & Routes is a podcast about climate justice and human rights. In a 5-episode miniseries, I have asked first-hand witnesses and experts to talk to me about climate-induced migration. This is a complex topic, but one of the pressing issues of our age: therefore it needs airtime. In our first episode, with Carbon Brief's science journalist, Ayesha Tandon, we lay down some basics. Who are climate migrants? Or should we call them climate refugees? How and why do people move, where do they go and what kind of rights do they have? I invited Ayesha to Roots & Routes after reading her incredible Deep Dive Q&A on the topic. In the past few years, she talked to many experts and scientists on how the climate drives human migration, so she’s the perfect person to kick off this series.Read more from Ayesha:Deep Dive Q&A on migration and climate changeInside HABITABLE: Investigating climate-driven migration in rural ThailandGlobal South Climate DatabaseYou can find Ayesha on LinkedIn and X.Follow Roots & Routes on Instagram!Intro sound credits:CBS News: Climate Refugees: Nations under threatABC News: Central American drought creates climate change refugeesABC News: Climate-induced famine leaves children on the brink of starvation: Part 1ABC News: Millions in East Africa face famine triggered by droughtCBS News: Canada wildfires prompt U.S. air quality warningsStories: The World's First Climate RefugeesAl Jazeera English: Guatemala migrants: Climate change driving exodusDW News: German Chancellor promises help to residents affected by worst flooding in decades | DW NewsGuardian News: World on 'fast track to climate disaster', say UN secretary general Hosted on Acast.
