This book investigates the epistemological and ethical challenges
faced by studies exploring the relations between climate change and
human migration. At the heart of the contemporary preoccupation
with climate change is a concern for its societal impacts. Among
these, its presumed effect on human migration is perhaps the most
politically resonant, regardless of whether that politics is
oriented towards human or national security. There is, however, a
problem: research on the causal link between climate change and
migration has shown it to be a highly equivocal one. By extension,
it remains unclear what - if any - response is required from law
and policy. Carefully structured to guide the reader through the
issue of 'climate migration' in a logical and rigorous manner, this
book is the first to bring together key critiques, caveats, and
cautions in order to systematically examine the challenges facing
law, policy, and research on the topic. At a time in which both the
effects of climate change and the causes of migration are of great
public and political interest, and in which these interests are
often fraught with sentiment and freighted with politics, the book
brings dispassionately critical perspectives to bear on a topic
that desperately needs it.
