Summary: <p>As the COP27 climate talks wrap up in Egypt, we’re turning our attention to an issue that got less attention at the summit than you might expect: the growing number of people having to flee their homes as a result of climate change. What role does Europe have to play in all this, both in terms of finding solutions and as a major driver of climate change in the first place? This week we find out with the help of Alexandre Porteret of the European Commission’s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ec.humanitarian.aid/"><u>Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations</u></a> department, and François Gemenne of the <a href="https://www.hugo.uliege.be/cms/c_4655083/en/hugo"><u>Hugo Laboratory</u></a>, the world’s first interdisciplinary research centre focusing on how climate change impacts migration.</p> <p>This episode was supported by the European Commission, with coordination from <a href="http://areweeurope.com/"><u>Are We Europe</u></a>.</p> <p>Producer: Katz Laszlo</p> <p>Scoring and mastering: Wojciech Oleksiak</p> <p>Music: BlueDot Sessions and Epidemic Sounds</p> <p>Thanks for listening!
