Krátky popis
Longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year
award'Gaia Vince's new book should be read not just by every
politician, but by every person on the planet' ObserverAn urgent
investigation of the most underreported, seismic consequence of
climate change: how it will force us to change where - and how - we
liveWe are facing a species emergency. With every degree of
temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced from the zone
in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we must do
everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the
brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming
uninhabitable.From Bangladesh to Sudan to the western United
States, and in cities from Cardiff to New Orleans to Shanghai, the
quadruple threat of drought, heat, wildfires and flooding will
utterly reshape Earth's human geography in the coming decades. In
this rousing call to arms, Royal Society 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 this book is that
migration is not the problem - it's the solution.Drawing on a
wealth of eye-opening data and original reporting, Vince shows how
migration brings benefits not only to migrants themselves, but to
host countries, many of which face demographic crises and labour
shortages. As Vince describes, we will need to move northwards as a
species, into the habitable fringes of Europe, Asia and Canada and
the greening Arctic circle. While the climate catastrophe is
finally getting the attention it deserves, the inevitability of
mass migration has been largely ignored.In Nomad Century, Vince
provides, for the first time, an examination of the most pressing
question facing humanity.
