"With climate change we all become nomads", claims the artist Hermann Josef Hack. Global warming, caused by wealthy regions, creates millions of refugees in the poorer regions of our world. Aridity, flooding and other extreme weather conditions force refugees to abandon their homelands. The Climate Refugee Camp, consisting of about 400 small tents, converts Brandenburger Tor and Alexanderplatz in Berlin into symbolic areas of crisis, drawing attention to the plight of refugees. In addition to this intervention, Hermann Josef Hack also will present the first Climate Refugee Guide, a travel guide for climate refugees.
