Nomad Century how to survive the climate upheaval
Lane, Allen.
Nomad Century how to survive the climate upheaval - Dublin Penguin 2022 - xi,235p.
Includes index
In this galvanising and persuasive call to arms, Vince demonstrates how we can manage the coming climate migration. But the vital counter-intuitive message of this book is that migration is not the problem?it's the solution. Not only will billions of people have no choice but to relocate, but advanced countries are facing demographic crises due to shrinking, ageing populations and the resulting labour shortages. Drawing on a wealth of eye-opening data, Vince describes how migration demonstrably brings tremendous benefits not only to migrants themselves, but to host countries, who benefit economically as well as culturally. A borderless world is not something to fear: in fact, a World Bank study suggested that it would triple global GDP. As Vince shows us, we will increasingly be moving north, into the Arctic circle, and to countries like Canada, Greenland and Russia that will only benefit from rising temperatures and increased populations.
