GlobalGlobal – The number of migrants worldwide has doubled over the past decade, and the question of what to do with the rapidly growing population of displaced people will become increasingly relevant. The movement of people is driven by change.

climate exacerbates the already existing mass migration to big cities. Surviving the climate crisis will require a planned and deliberate migration that humanity has never attempted before.

There are more days when temperatures are above 50°C than 30 years ago – this level of heat is deadly for humans, and also extremely problematic for buildings, roads, and power plants. This makes the area uninhabitable. We need to help people move from danger and poverty to safety and comfort in order to build a more resilient global society for the benefit of all.

We will need to create entirely new cities near the planet’s colder poles, on land that is rapidly becoming free of ice. For example, in some parts of Siberia, temperatures have reached 30°C for several months now. Large populations will have to migrate, not only to the nearest city but across continents.
