2022 witnessed severe flooding in Pakistan, extreme drought in Somalia and heat waves across Europe. The COP27 environmental meeting in Egypt right now is aimed at speeding up action to prevent more of these climate emergencies.

Nations are trying to find a way to meet the targets set out in the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, but there appears little discussion about how to deal with the immediate problem of climate migration and the people searching for safety.

Guests:

Michelle Yonetani

Ines Benomar

Researcher in Climate Diplomacy, E3G

Ayesha Siddiqi

Assistant Professor at Cambridge University
