NEW TODAY: Reporters Aurora Alliegro, Shekufe Ranjbar, Munnazzah Raza, and Alessandro Strobbe bring us this in-depth investigation of the struggles facing those who must flee their homelands in the face of catastrophic climate change. In Europe, where many of these people seek to start a new life, existing asylum frameworks desperately need to be updated to take into account the growing phenomenon of climate migration.

“The stories of Hassan, Mehran, Gulzar, Umer, and many others reveal the sobering reality and human toll of climate change, conflict, and poverty. They pose a pressing question: How long will it take for governments to recognise climate migrants?”

Climate migration is at Europe's doorstep, and the continent is far from ready.

Just published! New article from John Collins. Here's an excerpt:

"Tossing out a bust of dictator Francisco Franco was a tremendously symbolic and dangerous act in a country where Franco’s hold on power had been near-absolute since the late 1930s. Already a committed activist at 19 years old, Farré needed to abandon her studies and go underground in order to stay ahead of the police."
