“…The widely used terminology of “trapped” populations, while potentially useful to refer to people who want to move but are unable to for political or economic reasons, can undermine the agency of people who do not wish to leave their homes (Ayeb-Karlsson, Smith and Kniveton 2018). Staying in place can be viewed as a proactive adaptation just as much as migration can (Pemberton et al 2021). Both movement and immobility, then, exist on a spectrum of agency, from freely chosen to forced (McLeman et al 2021).…”

This review examines the interdisciplinary literature on the relationship between climate change and place. The concept of place is of interest to both humanistic geographers and environmental psychologists, who examine the ways in which individuals and groups interact with physical and cultural landscapes to form a sense of place and place attachments. As a multiscalar phenomenon that is global in its causes but local in its impacts, climate change presents several challenges to the concept of place. The relevant issues include 1) the extent to which climate-change impacts can be directly experienced, 2) the ways in which local place attachments can facilitate or impede adaptation to climate change, and 3) the grounding of climate-change mitigation in place. Drawing on literature from Earth science, human geography, and environmental psychology, the review explores how the global conceptualization of the environment prevalent in climate-change discourses can undermine notions of place, how deep connections to place can enhance the detection and attribution of climate change and contribute to climate resilience, and how climate activist movements reconcile the multiple spatial scales of climate change.

“…Just as climate change does not categorically produce migration, it does not inevitably erode the desire and capacity to stay in place (Adams, 2016). Rather, the historical, social and political factors underpinning and facilitating non-migration merit greater attention, beyond the simple absence of the facilitation of mobility (Pemberton et al, 2021). In a longitudinal study in China, migrants returned home after years to participate in resilient livelihood activities, indicating how climate migration might decline over time, outpacing mounting climate change effects through successful in situ adaptation (Gray et al, 2020).…”

Climate-induced migration is an increasingly prominent global issue, but it is more complex than the conventional picture of ‘environmental refugees’ suggests. Climate and migration's nexus entails various concerns for both climate-induced migrants and non-migrants. This article summarises the complexities surrounding climate-induced migration, outlining the variables that influence why people choose or decline migration as an adaptation strategy. It identifies the main challenges and gaps that current environmental migration trends and their management present, offering examples of improving practices in response to climate-induced movement. It concludes that migration and non-migration in response to climate change should be facilitated based on consideration of needs and aspirations rooted in local contexts, opining that non-migration should be prioritised where possible for the welfare of affected peoples.

“…Recently, there has been a growing body of research addressing the topic of environmental immobility (Farbotko and McMichael, 2019;Blondin, 2021;Pemberton et al, 2021). Most notably, Caroline Zickgraf (2018Zickgraf ( , 2019Zickgraf ( , 2021 has advanced the topic via various publications at the theoretical level, paving the way for a new research agenda.…”
