This book will provide a space for new and emergent research in
environmental migration, particularly in the context of a world
beginning to emerge from the grip of a debilitating public health
crisis that kept many firmly rooted in place while displacing
others internationally. With famines, vast wildfires, droughts, and
record heatwaves uprooting human settlements internationally,
research on migration in the face of emerging risks is all the more
urgent. As Balsari, Dresser, & Leaning
point out, “the wall-building, xenophobic, and insular”
platforms of some global powers in their immigration and asylum
policies, and the ever-increasing stresses placed on the natural
world that continue to make sites of human settlement less and less
hospitable, make research on this topic both very timely and much
needed. This book will include numerous case studies, historical
analyses, projections, models, and recommendations for both policy
and future research directions. Contributions are drawn from
academics and practitioners in this fertile interdisciplinary field
of academic inquiry, and each one focuses on the intersection of
population and environment studies, history, geography, law,
diaspora studies, economics, public health, and sociology. This
book is composed of five clear sections. The introductory
section includes one chapter that presents an overview of the
current landscape, the scope and objectives of the book, as well as
its specific approach and the various themes. The concluding
section is composed of one chapter that presents a global map of
recent innovations drawing together some of the core themes
discussed throughout the book. The concluding chapter synthesizes
the challenges and opportunities presented, and the possible future
directions that researchers, practitioners, and regulators could
and should move towards.
