Prepare for mass migration to cities in climate crisis, UK mayors warn
The Guardian ^ | Diane Taylor

Two of the UK’s leading mayors are calling for urgent action to prepare for mass migration to cities due to the climate emergency, as a major report into the issue launches at the UN headquarters in New York on Wednesday.

Mass migration to some of the world’s cities due to the climate emergency is already under way and the World Bank has estimated that unless significant action is taken, 216 million people could be on the move by 2050. In 2020, 30 million people were displaced due to the climate crisis, and 70% of people internally displaced due to the climate crisis are living in urban areas. The World Bank predicts that more than 1 billion people are at risk of being driven from their homes for climate-related reasons.

The report, which will be launched at the UN headquarters with president of the general assembly, Abdulla Shahid, and secretary general, António Guterres, has been produced by researchers at Columbia and New York City universities and has been commissioned by the Mayors Migration Council, working with the UN.

Khan told the Guardian: “As chair of C40, one of my priorities is taking urgent action to address the causes and devastating human cost of forced migration created by the climate emergency.

“All over the world, people are already being forced to move due to the climate crisis. ”

It's not random idiocy, it's our soul crushing dystopian future coming from the crafters of the "Great Reset".

Huge waves of migration can destabilize us, throw our elections, and provide a great opportunity for schemers to reshape our society in 1984-like ways.

Extreme censorship is coming for anyone who questions or mocks the climate change nonsense.

There is a political climate crisis alright.
Nothing to do with weather, rain, drought, snow or temperature.

LOL! Just as the RESPONSE to Covid is a hoax so is climate change. Climate has changed since God formed the planet Earth. Nothing we humans will do or not do will change that.

I assume you mean race as in “La Raza”.
Ironically, I went to school with a Pakistani kid named Raza Khan...

Yeah, it’s just an all purpose description for the way they think: they’re all tribalist racists. Mexicans are just more out front with it, it’s catchy, and you can dance to it...

No kidding, last place you want to be if the SHTF - I can heat my house with wood from my property, get water from my well and lots of room for raising animals and crops if needed - why in the world would anyone want to flock to a city in a crisis is beyond me.

Any specific names of people, organizations etc that are mostly pushing and behind the supposed “reset” and are their any books, papers, articles that truly give a candid view on the facts and motives? Yes it goes w/o question they would certainly be called pariahs.
