Global environmental change and migration: Governance challenges

Waltz with development: insights on the developmentalization of climate-induced migration

“…12 IPCC 2014). Different forms of mobility form part of an adaptation continuum (Warner 2009;Beardsley and Hugo 2010), i.e. are among the multiple strategies through which communities and households react to crises but also adapt to changes.…”

Vulnerability and adaptive capacity of community food systems in the Peruvian Amazon: a case study from Panaillo

“…The relationship between migration, global environmental change, and adaptation has been widely discussed in climate change adaptation literature (see Black et al, 2011;Warner, 2010). An individual's decision to migrate is a reflection of several factors, including environmental, economic, political, social, demographic drivers (Black et al, 2011;Renaud et al, 2011;Oliver-Smith, 2012).…”

“…Seasonal migration can be considered an adaptive strategy in this case, since it prevents permanent migration out of distress. Several studies have also highlighted how migration of a household member may serve as a risk reduction strategy for climate and non-climate risks by diversifying household income sources (Scheffran et al, 2012;Renaud et al, 2011;Ellis, 2000;Warner, 2010;Adger, 1999).…”

The Economic Costs of Climate Change: A Multi-Sector Impact Assessment for Vietnam

“…Consequently, a changing climate could jeopardize farm revenues and rural livelihoods [2][3][4][5]. Inundation from flooding events, sea level rise (SLR), and cyclone strike could displace large populations and damage or destroy capital including valuable transport and energy infrastructure [6][7][8][9]. Together, these characteristics mean that crucial economic sectors, i.e., agriculture, energy and infrastructure, are exposed to climate risks that could influence Vietnam's long-term development prospects.…”
