The topic of climate protection is omnipresent. It is about nothing less than saving our planet and thus our livelihoods. It is often forgotten that this basis of life has already been destroyed for millions of people. These people set out in search of a new future and often end up in the world's major cities. How are these cities dealing with the increasing number of climate refugees? Are there working concepts to develop new living spaces for these refugees in the already overcrowded big cities? Issue 123 of topos tries to answer these and many other urgent questions, sheds light on the background of climate migration and tries to look into the future of refugee movements. With the help of a photographer living there, we also take an exclusive look into the daily life and fates in the largest refugee camp in the world – Kutupalong in Bangladesh. Climate flight seems to be an issue that is still far away for many of us. But in the future, even in previously safe climate strongholds such as Europe, we will have to be prepared for areas becoming uninhabitable due to drought, floods or even a combination of both factors, and people having to leave their homes.
