Spatial Design Strategies for Climate Migration

Description

Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing global challenges of our time, with far-reaching implications for human societies and the environment. A significant consequence of this crisis is migration, as individuals and communities are forced to relocate. Over the next 30 years, extreme climate zones and uninhabitable areas are projected to expand from 1% to 20% of Earth’s land, leading to the displacement of hundreds of millions of people.
In this context, vulnerable regions and communities, historically the least responsible for this crisis, will be disproportionately affected.
