Gaia Vince on migrating our way to a more sustainable future

In this episode Gaia Vince, award-winning broadcaster, journalist and science writer, shares how we can migrate our way to a more sustainable future. This discussion is an important one for anyone interested in climate change, migration and how the two are inextricably linked. It covers why Gaia wrote her latest book Nomad Century: How to Survive the Climate Upheaval, the importance of cities in leading the way on climate migration and examples of how large number of migrants can integrate effectively with the host population. Gaia encourages us all to do our part by "normalising the conversation about climate migration and human mobility". Nomad Century is her third book and her first two are Adventures in the Anthropocene (for which she was the first woman to win the Royal Society Prize for Science Books) and Transcendence (which was shortlisted for the Royal Society Prize for Science Books). In addition to her books she writes articles, including for the BBC, The Guardian, New Scientist, Australian Geographic, Science. She makes and present science documentaries for radio and television, presents BBC Inside Science, and gives talks around the world. Previously, she has held senior editorial positions at the science journals Nature, Nature Climate Change, and New Scientist magazine. She has won awards for her work, most recently, the 2024 European Geosciences Union Angela Croome Award for excellence in Earth, space and planetary science journalism. Gaia is also an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at UCL’s Anthropocene Institute, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Manufacturing and Commerce (RSA), and a founding member of the Climate Migration Council, and proud to be a National Oceans Centre Ambassador.
