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.
