Studies warn that global warming and sea level rise will create
hundreds of millions of environmental refugees. While climate
change will undoubtedly affect future migration patterns and
behavior, the potential outcomes are more complex than the
environmental refugee scenario suggests. This book provides a
comprehensive review of how physical and human processes interact
to shape migration, using simple diagrams and models to guide the
researcher, policy maker and advanced student through the
climate-migration process. The book applies standard concepts and
theories used in climate and migration scholarship to explain how
events such as Hurricane Katrina, the Dust Bowl, African droughts,
and floods in Bangladesh and China have triggered migrations that
haven't always fit the environmental refugee storyline. Lessons
from past migrations are used to predict how future migration
patterns will unfold in the face of sea level rise, food
insecurity, political instability, and to review options for policy
makers.
