Live podcast
Abbéy Odunlami and Fawad Durrani

The transformations of the Anthropocene amplify the world’s inequalities. The methods and practices which permitted developed countries to industrialize and get wealthy have produced emissions which contribute to climate changes that disproportionately harm the most impoverished populations. While most future climate migrants are likely headed to Europe, the EU still lacks a discerning migrant policy.

This podcast series brings together researchers, politicians and activists to grasp the role of Europe as a political agent and a geographical destination in future climates. This episode, with Fawad Durrani, looks at the experiences, opinions, and emotional responses of those labeled as having a “migration background.” Those not born in Germany or in Europe have had to intimately engage with this euphemism and can offer a nuanced perspective on the question: Who gets to be an “expat,” and who is an “immigrant”?
