Displacement: The common denominator in floods, droughts, fires and war

Friday, 11 March 2022 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques and Jennifer talk about the massive displacement of people due to global heating and international conflict, and how this is set to accelerate if we don’t take preventive action.     

Starting with the floods in Queensland and NSW and moving 15,000 K North West to Ukraine and the Russian invasion, yet another two examples and instances of the millions of people displaced by the growing number of 'natural' and other human-induced disasters ...   In so many ways, 'displacement' as a feature of the Anthropocene... and we're all watching it on our screens... fiddling while we're burning and flooding ourselves...
