Episode description

On this installment of our series, The Road To COP26 Presented By Octopus Energy, we look at why global migration policy is  crucial to adaptation in the face of climate change with Julia Blocher, researcher on the linkage between climate change and migration at The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and President of the The International Youth Federation. We explore what people often get wrong about climate migration, why young people are so often on the frontlines of dealing with migration, and what policies are needed at COP26 to make migration safer and easier around the world.

Co-hosts Ty Benefiel and Brock Benefiel also discuss the underwhelming efforts to provide global financing for adaptation and mitigation and loss and damage and what may happen as a result.
