Drought-hit regions bleeding those for whom a rural life has become untenable. Coastlines diminishing year on year. Wildfires and hurricanes leaving widening swaths of destruction. The culprit, most of us accept, is climate change, but not enough of us are confronting one of its biggest, and most present, consequences: a total reshaping of the earth’s human geography. As Gaia Vince points out early in Nomad Century, global migration has doubled in the past decade, on track to see literal billions displaced in the coming decades. What exactly is happening, Vince asks? And how will this new great migration reshape us all?
In this deeply-reported clarion call, Vince draws on a career of environmental reporting and over two years of travel to the front lines of climate migration across the globe, to tell us how the changes already in play will transform our food, our cities, our politics, and much more. Her findings are answers we all need, now more than ever.

| 0:59.0 | and why we know it is in the news already. Borders or the interception of human traffickers |
| 1:06.3 | and the Mediterranean or the North Sea turning back people who are looking for anything better |
| 1:11.5 | than where they're coming from because of climate change and because of bad governance. |
| 1:16.3 | Bad governance and climate change tend to go together. It might be a phenomenon. It might |

| 1:47.5 | been moving for thousands of years and has determined our histories. But borders. |
| 1:54.1 | Borders were important to the Romans. Borders are important here in the North America. |
