Climate change and migration

Many harmful narratives surrounding climate change and migration focus on the threat posed by climate change-induced migration. But these narratives can be divisive, and they can trigger fear.

UN Human Rights aims to change the narrative on migration and climate change by promoting hope-based stories of migrants and communities working together to address the adverse impacts of climate change.

These hope-based illustrations were created by Magda Castría, a feminist illustrator and graphic designer from Argentina. She produces editorial, animation, motion graphics and digital media projects focused on defending human rights.

In this new story as part of our illustrated series on migration and climate change, Castría focuses on the importance of preserving and respecting our relationship with nature.

Together, using stories like these, and celebrating the power of community, we believe we can create local solutions to climate change.
