Displaced: Climate Migration in Central Asia and Beyond

Eurasian Climate Brief
Climate change affects almost all sectors of human societies and life. One underrated and underreported consequence of the climate crisis is so-called climate migration — displacement due to climate change. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) predicts the number of "environmental migrants" in 2050 to be between 25 million and 1 billion.

To find out more about this topic and, in particular, about one of the most affected regions — Central Asia — Angelina Davydova and Boris Schneider spoke to Viviane Clement, senior climate change specialist with the World Bank's Climate Change Group, Ikrom Mamadov, director of the Youth Group on the Protection of the Environment and the national director of the Ecological Network of Tajikistan, and Kira Vinke, head of the Center for Climate and Foreign Policy at the German Council of Foreign Relations (DGAP).

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
