Some international conventions recognize migration as an adaptation strategy to climate change. However, framing migration in terms of “adaptation” to an external threat as if climate change were an individual and temporary difficulty to be overcome, does not take into account the fact that climate change adaptation strategies should be framed in regional and global political dimensions. This has implications for public communication and information to be part of politicians and media: in many public representations, the idea of migration is generally simplified, while these processes are characterized by complexity. The aim of project is to improve a “thought of complexity” on climate change and migration among young people, so that they themselves have tools to conduct dialogue with political decision makers and the media in terms of climate justice.
