Pragmatic Radicals hosts a deeply hopeful, collaborative project bringing people and organisations together across siloes 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 deeply 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?
The project is rooted in 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 and how to get involved, we invite you check out our website and to subscribe to our Substack where we post our latest thinking as well as updates on how you can get involved in shaping this work.
How you can work with us in 2026
If you’re ready to take an active step forward in understanding how a climate-migration lens could transform your ability to play a part in a just transition to a more equitable, regenerative future, there are some specific ways that you can work with us. Whether you work in housing, health, civic infrastructure, narrative strategy, education or democracy, we would love to share our experiences and help to spark fresh, practical thinking about getting out of siloes and working across intersectional injustices.
- Commission us to deliver a workshop or learning programme for your organisation – drawing on our organising framework as well as a toolkit of design, strategy and imagination practices
- Partner with us to co-host storytelling events that centre the voices of folk with lived experience of climate-linked migration – then help us get these narratives into the hands of decision makers up and down the country.
- Help us build and share precedents in this work – contribute to our facilitation toolkit, pitch us a blog for our Substack or share our work with your peers
- Connect with us as a fellow facilitator, producer or connector if you’re active in this space and are interested to join our crew
- Invite us to speak or facilitate at workshops and events that invite organisations across a wide spectrum to consider their role in dismantling climate and migrant injustice
Funders: If you’re reading this as a funder and are interested in offering support to your grantees to explore and act at the intersection of climate justice and migrant justice, we’d love to talk. And if we’re describing the type of work you’d like to invest in – as a philanthropic funder who wants to catalyse work around converging crises – you could also bolster our core capacity to offer this type of work to organisations for free! We’re open to fiscal hosting to enable such funding flows.

During 2025-26, this project was supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
