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' Observer An urgent investigation
of the most underreported, seismic consequence of climate change:
how it will force us to change where - and how - we live We 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.
