EcoThreads: Exploring Sustainability and its Intersections

In this episode, together we will explore the complex and intersectional issue of climate-induced migration. Some of the areas I cover in this episode include the causes of climate migration and its effects on job stability, employment availability, and the economic marginalization of disadvantaged groups. I also discuss its sociopolitical impacts in regard to the resulting population shifts and changes in the political dynamics of regions.
