Environmental migration is not new. Nevertheless, the events
and processes accompanying global climate change threaten to increase human
movement both within states and across international borders. The
Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change has predicted an increased frequency
and severity of climate events such as storms, cyclones and hurricanes, as well
as longer-term sea level rise and desertification, which will impact upon
people's ability to survive in certain parts of the world. This book brings
together a variety of disciplinary perspectives on the phenomenon of
climate-induced displacement. With chapters by leading scholars in their field,
it collects in one place a rigorous, holistic analysis of the phenomenon, which
can better inform academic understanding and policy development alike.
Governments have not been prepared to take a leading role in developing
responses to the issue, in large part due to the absence of strong theoretical
frameworks from which sound policy can be constructed. The specialist expertise
of the authors in this book means that each chapter identifies key issues that
need to be considered in shaping domestic, regional and international
responses, including the complex causes of movement, the conceptualisation of
migration responses to climate change, the terminology that should be used to
describe those who move, and attitudes to migration that may affect decisions
to stay or leave. The book will help to facilitate the creation of principled,
research-based responses, and establish climate-induced displacement as an
important aspect of both the climate change and global migration debates.
