About this item

The untold story of climate migration - the personal stories of those experiencing displacement, the portraits of communities being torn apart by disaster, and the implications for all of us as we confront a changing future.When the subject of migration that will be caused by global climate change comes up in the media or in conversation, we often think of international refugees - those from foreign countries who will emigrate to the United States to escape disasters like rising shorelines and famine. What many people don't realize though, is that climate migration is happening now - and within the borders of the United States. A human-centered narrative with national scope, The Great Displacement is the first book to report on climate migration in the US.
