✦ Synopsis

While politicians debate whether or not climate change is real, extreme weather rages around the world. Whatever the cause, the effects are real, as evidenced by staggering numbers of displaced people. These climate refugees, through no fault of their own, have meaningful impacts on populations, economies, and even cultural makeup. How can world leaders adapt to these changes? In this fascinating resource, writers from around the world offer their takes on the current crises as well as predictions for the future.
