The consequences of global climate change are affecting the way people live, work, and move around the planet. Events such as catastrophic storms, encroaching deserts, and rising seas are making some communities increasingly unlivable and posing challenges to livelihoods. There is no clear, direct line between the impacts of climate change and changing human movement. But there are indications that the warming planet is indirectly creating or altering patterns of migration. Changing Climate, Changing Migration dives deep into the intersection of climate change and migration to separate fact from fiction and trace out the complicated ways in which climate change affects migrants, refugees, and communities—and their adaptations and other responses.

Climate Change, Migration & Conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan
Floods, drought, extreme temperatures, and other climate events have devastated parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Repercussions of climate change come on top of years of conflict, which have left countless numbers of people unable to adapt to changing conditions. In response, many have fled, either in short-term displacement or permanent migration. Our podcast speaks with researchers Maryam Abbasi and Nasrat Sayed about how climate change is compelling migration in Afghanistan and Pakistan, layering on top of conflict as a driver for displacement.
