Climate Refugees offre un quadro completo delle conseguenze operate dai continui cambiamenti climatici, mutamenti radicali che non solo influenzano il territorio e il suo stato biologico, ma spingono intere popolazioni ad abbandonare i propri paesi e la propria storia. Rifugiati climatici, sempre più spesso provenienti dal mondo occidentale: una prospettiva relativamente sconosciuta di un fenomeno migratorio che non fa sconti a nessuno. Un'umanità che si riscopre nomade, costretta dalle politiche della globalizzazione a cercare, se non giustizia, quantomeno un rifugio in paesi stranieri. Il documentario di Nash offre l'ulteriore riprova di come le continue devastazioni che l'uomo opera sull'ambiente finiscano per ripercuotersi sulla comunità stessa, generando ogni tipo di conseguenza. Economica, ambientale, umana.

Climate Refugees offers an all-round picture of the consequences of the on-going and radical climate changes which not only influence the territory and its biological condition but push whole populations to abandon their lands and history. They are the climate refugees who are increasingly from the Western world: a relatively unknown phenomenon of a migratory phenomenon which makes allowances for nobody. It is a humanity that rediscovers its nomadic nature, forced by the policies of globalization to seek, if not justice, at least refuge in foreign countries. Nash's documentary gives further confirmation of how man's continuous devastations of the environment end up by affecting the community as a whole, generating consequences of all kinds: economic, environmental and human.
