Climate Change and the Migrant Crisis | Years of Living Dangerously


nice to meet you how big is this
European migration crisis now it’s big
and it’s getting bigger we’re doing a
story on the impacts of climate change
on migration many of the people are
clean conflict we just couldn’t believe
that some were clean climate change and
so we’re investigating more people are
more exposed to more extreme weather and
on top of that there is weaker
governance and there is violence they
have a right of being relocated
elsewhere because they didn’t cause
climate change we and then this dust
realized North course climate change I
think what got me really interested in
this story is that people don’t
understand that the 1951 Geneva
Convention protects refugees and
refugees are only those people who are
fleeing conflicts or persecution what
country Guinea and how long did it take
to get here from giving if you’re
fleeing the fact that you can no longer
support your family because your crops
don’t grow because the rain doesn’t fall
you have no protection no future
phenol movie I’ve ever won a yellow
so here tortured by a dictator you have
certain rights if I’ve been driven out
of my country by this a woman named
Mother Nature there’s absolutely nothing
that will protect you we need to either
give hope to people where they are today
in their situation of extreme
vulnerability or we will take not just
one million people coming this year to
Europe it will be millions and millions
is it our missions that are
impoverishing your country those who
give nothing to cause climate change
they feel it today I think this is among
the most important journalism projects
I’ve ever been part of and the
commitment to truth and excellence in
telling this climate change story is
simply unparalleled we have to be much
much better in investing in a better
coming future that is the way to avoid
that we all will live very dangerously
it’s 110 degrees Fahrenheit is this
weather normal for this time of year
