NPR series: Climate migration and the rise of the right |
In every hemisphere, cross-border migration is taking place, driven by changes in the climate that are also changing ways of life. That's expected to grow as climate change intensifies. In a series beginning tomorrow, NPR's Ari Shapiro and a team from All Things Considered explore the connection between climate change, the movement of people around the globe, and the rise of xenophobic politicians.
Ari and crew start exploring on a path that thousands of people have already taken: from Senegal, through Morocco, to Spain. In the first report in the series, they look at the climate factors pushing the city of Saint-Louis, Senegal into the sea, earning it U.N. designation as the African city most threatened by rising sea levels. The series continues on All Things Considered, 4 to 7 p.m. weekdays, throughout this month.
