Say hello to your experts for the series: Dr. François Gemenne is a political scientist at the University of Liège and director of the Hugo Observatory, Dr. Caroline Zickgraf is a social scientist at the University of Liège and deputy director of the Hugo Observatory, and Dr. Yvonne Su is a social scientist at York University.
In this video, the three experts and youth activists from around the world introduce some of the main themes in The Big Climate Movement. They raise the issue of identifying climate change-induced migration, and the problem with current reporting and policymaking on migration related to climate change. The experts and activists explain how climate change is not only a phenomenon that will happen in the Global South in the future, but that it is already happening and its effects are felt everywhere.
This series was originally produced by Migration Matters e.V. for an Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange that invites refugees and non-refugee students from all over Europe and the Southern Mediterranean to learn together in an interactive, online classroom. These videos have been produced under a contract with the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, financed by the European Union’s budget. The opinions expressed are those of the contractor and do not represent the contracting authority’s official position.
