A Literary Hub Most Anticipated Book An urgent wake-up call about the coming large-scale human displacement caused by climate change, from one of the world’s leading experts Mere decades from now, millions of people all over the world will be forced to move because of climate change. Entire islands will disappear into the sea. Once-in-a-century hurricanes will occur on a regular basis, decimating cities and wiping out peoples’ homes. Wildfires fed by prolonged drought will rage through communities. No one will be immune: in countries rich and poor, climate change will usher in a new era of migration. In Shelter from the Storm noted journalist and migration researcher Julian Hattem tells the story of the massive human displacement that is already being caused by climate change. With hard-hitting journalism from the front lines of the environmental apocalypse, Hattem takes the reader on a journey from the South Pacific to the Indian subcontinent, the Mediterranean, and beyond, offering a shocking glimpse into the human geography wrecked by a warming planet. Shelter from the Storm also provides rich historical perspective on how climate has impacted migration and a primer on cutting-edge climatological research, creating a multidimensional portrait of this uncertain new age. A work of profound expertise and storytelling, Shelter from the Storm gives a human face to the millions of climate migrants who are leaving their homes—and the millions more who will follow. Praise for  Shelter From the Storm : “A compelling yet nuanced vision of the role climate change plays in global human migration patterns.”— Booklist  (starred review) “ Shelter from the Storm is a thoughtful, in-depth study of the nature and consequences of climate change in an increasingly mobile world, and of how ecological shifts will continue to shape human movement in the years to come.”— Foreword Reviews “Julian Hattem documents how the climate crisis is reshaping where humans can survive on our rapidly warming planet. A troubling and powerful read.” — Reece Jones, author of Nobody Is Protected and White Borders   “ Shelter From the Storm  presents a harrowing and urgent tale about what is at stake in the global attack on climate science and disregard for environmental protections. Everyone—including the rich urban elite—is being impacted in various ways as ecological systems collapse and weather catastrophes unfold.” — Eve Darian-Smith author of Global Burning: Rising Antidemocracy and the Climate Crisis “The climate crisis is a challenge to the very idea of ‘home’ as this book makes powerfully clear. We need to slow the rise in temperature and we need to lower the temperature around the idea of migration—both of those are simply realities of our time.” — Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun “This timely book is a must-read for everyone concerned with climate change and migration. Packed with well-chosen examples, facts and clear arguments, it throws much-needed light on the vital question of who will migrate and why as humanity experiences more extreme weather and ocean rise.” — Ian Goldin, Professor of Globalisation and Development, Oxford University, and author of The Shortest History of Migration “Julian Hattem’s forceful and vivid Shelter from the Storm  provides a sweeping yet accessible look at the coming global movement that is largely the result of human-caused climate change. He also makes a powerful argument for a fundamental rethink of migration and its role in society, one that is only going to become more urgent as governments dawdle on cutting their carbon emissions. It’s a welcome addition to a growing canon of books about what is perhaps the most fundamental problem of our era.” — Jake Bittle, author of The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration “With masterful storytelling and insightful explanations, this brilliantly researched book takes us on a journey around the world to reveal what is happening to us: we are already a climate migrant, will most likely become one, or are already living amidst a migration. This book is mandatory reading for those wanting to understand our climate disrupted world more deeply. Hattem’s outstanding work grows more prescient by the day.” — Dahr Jamail, author of The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption “In Shelter from the Storm , Julian Hattem cuts through prevailing rhetoric and assumptions and offers a completely new way to think about climate migration. The book takes us on a dazzling journey around the world to glimpse the complex interplay of factors at play, and into the lives of individuals struggling against insuperable odds to survive and make a better life for themselves and their children in the face of a global order rigged against them.” — Aviva Chomsky, author of Is Science Enough?: Forty Critical Questions About Climate Justice “Julian Hattem
