  • Life after climate-related planned relocation

    Open AccessAnnah Piggott-Mckellar, Jasmine Pearson et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2026

    As the impacts of climate change erode the habitability of places, planned relocation of communities away from climate-related risks is increasingly proposed and implemented as an adaptation strategy. However, little is known about how planned relocation affects people’s well-being beyond individual case studies. Based on qualitative content analysis of 16 empirical case studies of planned relocation in response to climate-related processes and e…

  • A call for strategic assessments of regional applications of solar radiation management

    Open AccessUmberto Baresi, Chad M Baum et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Impact Assessment…2025Cited by: 2References: 58

    Technological advancements offer the opportunity for interventions to reduce and potentially even counteract the impacts of climate change. However, advancements that can facilitate the adaptation of human and natural ecosystems to climate change, and possibly lessen the intensity and damaging impacts of extreme weather events, come with social, technical, and environmental challenges. These challenges are triggered by the complexity and uncertai…

  • Partial planned relocation and livelihoods

    Open AccessMerewalesi Yee, Celia Mcmichael et al.ARTICLEAsia Pacific Viewpoint2024Cited by: 1References: 23

    Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are vulnerable to climate change impacts, including sea level rise, extreme weather events and other environmental changes. Planned relocation can be an adaptive response to climatic threats. In Fiji, six communities have already relocated. While there is growing interest in planned relocation, there are few empirical case studies from which to learn. Narikoso village, in the Kadavu Province of Fiji, undertook part…

  • Navigating tensions in climate change-related planned relocation

    Open AccessGiovanna Antonella Gini, Annah Piggott-Mckellar et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024Cited by: 1References: 8

    The planned relocation of communities away from areas of climate-related risk has emerged as a critical strategy to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Empirical examples from around the world show, however, that such relocations often lead to poor outcomes for affected communities. To address this challenge, and contribute to developing guidelines for just and sustainable relocation processes, this paper calls attention to three fundamental …

  • Moving People in a Changing Climate

    Open AccessAnnah Piggott-Mckellar, Karen Elizabeth Mcnamara et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2019Cited by: 28References: 45

    High levels of vulnerability to climate change impacts are rendering some places uninhabitable. In Fiji, four communities have already initiated or completed the task of moving their homes and livelihoods to less exposed locations, with numerous more communities earmarked for future relocation. This paper documents people's lived experiences in two relocated communities in Fiji-Denimanu and Vunidogoloa villages-and assesses the outcomes of the re…

  • What is shaping vulnerability to climate change? The case of Laamu Atoll, Maldives

    Open AccessKaren Elizabeth Mcnamara, Rachel Clissold et al.ARTICLEIsland Studies Journal2018Cited by: 8

    As climate change accelerates, it brings with it numerous challenges to society and the natural world. Concepts such as vulnerability have emerged as a way of trying to understand people’s risk, despite there being a range of variables that can influence vulnerability and its temporal and spatial dimensions. Drawing from the well-known conceptualisation of vulnerability as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, this paper see…
