“…Scholars profoundly expanded and shared their views and contribution to the literature on migration and adaptation in different fields of knowledge. Moreover, in the migration-development discussion, climate change effects are also emphasized (Florémont, 2012). Therefore, this study explored the nexus between migration and adaptation and analyzed how the researchers argued from different perspectives.…”

“…Another school of thought disagrees with the said argument and claims that migration is not the 'only' adaptation strategy; instead, people choose this strategy as an alternative option, which is chosen as the last resort (Perumal, 2018;Upreti & Shrestha, 2017;Adri & Simon, 2018;Stringer et ORIGINAL ARTICLE SCIENCE & ENGINEERING al., 2015). Researchers also argue that climate change sheds light powerfully on the discourse of migrationdevelopment-adaptation strategy (Florémont, 2012). In extremely climate-vulnerable countries like Bangladesh, rapid onset and slow-onset hazards are common, and these countries are the frontline victims of climate vulnerabilities (Ahmed & Eklund, 2021).…”

Migration as an Adaptation Strategy: A Bibliometric Analysis

Considering the capability approach of Amartya Sen, in many instances, migration is an adaption strategy that is no longer freedom of choice; rather, people are forced to choose it. Specifically, people often choose migration for adaptation due to climate and environmental vulnerabilities. This Bibliometric analysis aims to provide a detailed overview of how migration is considered an adaptation strategy using the Scopus database. The search query includes 'migration,’ 'adaptation', 'vulnerability', and 'climate change' as the keywords. A total of 7,335 scientific documents, including books, book chapters, articles, and review papers for 2011-2021, were analyzed using VOSviewer software. The lexical network analysis suggests a strong connection between migration and adaptation. Moreover, the spatial network analysis suggests that the migration-related research works are primarily concentrated in the USA, the UK, and Australia. The findings of an intensive review of 38 Scopus index migration literature suggest that migration is the ultimate effect of climate change, and the researchers termed this an 'adaptation strategy'. Although numerous dimensions of migration and adaptation strategy have been explored in the literature, however, future research options are still available in the field of migration-adaptation comparing circular and permanent migration, gendered dimension from the left-behind perspective, cultural diaspora between the migrants and receiving country, policies on alternative adaptation strategies, adaptation due to freedom of choice and forced migration from the wellbeing perspective. Moreover, heightened research collaboration is strongly suggested among the top migrant-sending and receiving countries to get more insights and policy formulation.

“…For a country that continues to receive large funds as aid to development and is highly interested in the opportunities offered by international climate finance, using a rhetoric of 'climate migration' participated to a fund-seeking strategy (see by analogy : Florémont, 2012). This rhetoric also serves to absolve Mongolia's government from its responsibility by pointing to extraneous causes.…”

Migration is always multi-causal. Ascribing a specific cause to migration, such as through the concept of 'climate migration', participates consequently to a political exercisea play of shade and light where attention is focused on the responsibilities of certain actors, rather than others. This is the case, this article argues, regarding internal migration in Mongolia, whereby, during the last two decades, nomadic or semi-nomadic herders as well as inhabitants from small urban centres come to settle in insalubrious suburbs of the capital, Ulaanbaatar. The Mongolian authorities are keen to highlight the changing environmental conditions that can be traced to climate change: a change in precipitation patterns and an increase in average temperatures contribute to cause large loss of livestock during harsh winters (dzud). Yet, a multitude of other factors concurrently influence the migratory behaviour of Mongolia's nomads: unregulated and unsustainable pastoral practices, the insufficient provision of basic and support services in the countryside or, more generally, the lack of public support to the agricultural sector. Identifying the concurring causes of migration suggests alternative response measures, and this article argues that Mongolia should urgently rectify its development policies to provide a room for each of its citizens.

“…59 Even within their own states, environmental migrants hardly have any impact on the political agenda. 60 This can be explained by what Crawford calls the "barrier of simple participation": as she notes, "The poor cannot be heard unless the media or the powerful publicize their arguments." 61 Precisely: empirical studies show that environmental inducement to migration affects in particular the poor, who are less resilient and often more exposed to environmental changes.…”

“Environmental Migration” as Advocacy: Is It Going to Work?

Can normative arguments for a governance of environ- mental migration succeed? The present analysis applies constructivist theories on norm entrepreneurship to the debate on the governance of environmental migration. Throughout the analysis, it appears that “environmental migration” is not constructed by one single, coherent norm entrepreneur. Rather, one may distinguish four normative enterprises that compete to use similar notions in the pursuit of divergent goals. They frame the issue of “environmental migration,” alternatively, as one of humanitarian assistance, forced migration, environmental sustainability, or international security. The article analyzes the prospect of each individual normative enterprise and their interactions. It concludes that norm entrepreneurs elaborating on a language of international security will likely have the greatest impact on the governance of environmental migration. Other normative enterprises are already permeated by the dominant language of fears.
