Pragmatic Radicals is currently incubating a deeply hopeful, collaborative project bringing together organisations across sectors to re-imagine the systems we need to build for the times we’re living in.
Underpinned by an understanding that climate justice, migrant justice and racial justice are irrevocably interconnected, we believe that working across these intersections is the only way to navigate a just transition to a better world.
The question that underpins this collaborative project is: As our climate drastically shifts, and people migrate – both by choice and through displacement – how might we catalyse collaboration across sectors to put justice at the centre of society’s approach to climate change and migration?
We – Julia Beart, alongside collaborators Dami Makinde, Theo Cadbury and Rita Issa – share a vision of a society that recognises migration as a crucial adaptation strategy in the face of climate change, where communities welcome people seeking sanctuary, and where models for adapting to a warmer planet lead to more sustainable, equitable policy and practice for all.
We’re seeking to shine a light on the gaps and cracks at the intersections of climate, migration and the new economy, cutting through complexity to generate new understanding at these intersections, amplifying new narratives through storytelling and deliberative democracy, and platforming new models for social infrastructure as we transition to a just and green economy that works for us all.
To learn more about this project, we invite you to subscribe to our Substack where we’ll be posting our latest thinking as well as updates on how you can get involved in shaping this work – from joining a co-creation session to becoming a founding partner in the Climate Migration Collaborative.
