Migration
Forced migration is already at historic levels, and predictions indicate a tenfold increase in the number of climate refugees by 2050. This mass displacement is set to transform social and political processes, not only in Germany but also across other countries. Simultaneously, the global climate emergency demands immediate action to mitigate catastrophic environmental impacts. It is crucial to recognize the interconnection between forced migration and climate change. Addressing these dual crises together is essential to developing sustainable solutions.
In response to concerns about climate change, high-density cities are increasingly turning to urban gardens as a solution. Urban gardens offer a multifaceted approach to growing produce, creating wildlife corridors, increasing biodiversity, improving air quality, and mitigating water runoff and noise. Beyond the environmental benefits, urban gardens have far-reaching social and psychosocial advantages, including promoting mental and physical well-being and fostering strong community relations.
