Climate Migration, A Global Issue
Countries Who Contribute Most to CO2e Emissions are Focussed around the Global North
Historic Cumulative CO2e & Current CO2e per Capita Emissions are focused in the Northern Hemisphere, as shown in this data collected by OurWorldinData, with some longlasting colonial countries in the global south also contributing heavily (S.Africa & Australia).

The ND-Gain Score assesses Vulnerability to the Effects of Climate Change & Readiness to Cope with those Effects.
Countries near the equator and the global South, shown above to contribute significantly less to CO2e emissions are shown below to be the most Vulnerable with the Lowest readiness. Researchers at Notre Dame have calculated that people living in the least developed countries have 10 times more chance of being affected by a climate disaster than those in wealthy countries each year. ND-GAIN data show it will take over 100 years for lower income countries to reach the resiliency of richer countries.

Climate Migration & Post Colonialism
Climate Change & Climate Migration are inherintley linked to post-colonialism, as mentioned in the video. Post-colonialism has shaped the way that global systems work, and not for the better.
Physically, culturally & climatically increasing the pressure of climate change.
Physically enforcing western methods of farming and energy generation, which have so hugely contributed to climate change.
Dominating areas in order to extract value from their land, and then forcing the adoption of GDP prioritisation as a measure of success.
Reducing the improtance of originality, and localisation, removing important culturally significant practices which would help the area to be more resilient to the effects of climate change.
