‘From Space to Village’
This article draws attention to the neglected visual construction of climate as a service , which we claim is central to understanding processes of datafication and financialisation at the core of adaptive development interventions in the era that followed the 2007–2009 global financial crisis. To do so, it foregrounds the notion of climate services —data‐driven guidance produced by satellites, sensors and increasingly Artificial Intelligence (AI…
Smart adaptation or data colonialism? Interrogating the role of digital technologies in climate adaptation
Highlighting a gap in adaptation studies regarding the role of digitalisation and datafication in environmental and climate governance, we argue for the need to critically engage with the ever-expanding experimental territory of smart adaptation . To accomplish this task, we emphasise the need to forge new alliances across the fields of digital geographies, political ecology, and political economy. We trace a genealogy of the discourse on smart a…
Climate-induced redistribution of people is not inevitable
Climate-induced redistribution of people is not inevitable, Boas, Ingrid, Sterly, Harald, Farbotko, Carol, Hulme, Mike, Benveniste, Hélène, Schewel, Kerilyn D, Bettini, Giovanni, Borderon, Marion, Hoffmann, Roman, van der Geest, Kees, Durand-Delacre, David, Selby, Jan, Wrathall, David J, Baldwin, Andrew, Benítez Cortés, Ailín, Bukari, Kaderi N, Bunchuay-Peth, Simon, Capisani, Simona, Codjoe, Samuel Nii Ardey, Dahm, Ruben, Dewan, Camelia, Dijstelb…
From denial to domestication
The rise to power of right-wing political formations in numerous countries opens new questions on how they relate to the climate emergency. Now that outright climate denial has become a residual position, the intersection of climate change, migration, and security might prove a litmus test of how the right wing ‘digests’ climate change. And indeed, while humanitarian narratives portray ‘climate refugees’ as victims deserving protection, the spect…
Changement climatique, migration et (bio)politiques
Depuis des années, Giovanni Bettini poursuit des recherches à l'université de Lancaster sur les effets politiques des discours concernant l'environnement et le climat. Dans cet article ancien de 2017 1 , il développe des thèses qui méritent d'être connues du public français en raison de leur force et de leur persistante actualité. En partant du constat que le changement climatique touche plus durement les plus faibles et les plus exposés, dont fo…
Clouded skies
As dangerous climate change becomes more and more likely, a consensus has been reached on the importance of addressing Loss and Damage (L&D) residual to mitigation (i.e., preventing climate change) and adaptation (i.e., adjusting in order to avert adverse impacts). In spite of sharp divisions in terms of how to understand and operationalize L&D, most approaches draw on classic environmental governance, with discrete analogic interventions impleme…
Climate migration myths
And yet it moves! (Climate) migration as a symptom in the Anthropocene
“While the climate-migration nexus raises crucial questions of mobility and climate justice, it is commonly understood through simplistic narratives that reify a complex set of relations. The spectre of environmentally-induced exodus is recurrent in media, policy and activist circles, in spite of numerous studies that reveal the empirical flaws and noxious normative implications of such narratives. This article explores this insistence and the de…
About Time! The Abyss of the Future and End(s) of Subjectivity in (Climate) Dystopias
As the climate emergency becomes tangible, its intractability within current paradigms suggests the need to envision and enact new “worlds” and forms of subjectivity. This has proven difficult, also in popular culture. In literature and film, dystopia and catastrophe are a frequent resort to narrate a post-climate crisis world. Building on scholarship critical of this tendency, the article zooms in on two dystopian novels, The Water Knife (Baciga…
One step forward, two steps back? The fading contours of (in)justice in competing discourses on climate migration
In recent debates on climate change and migration, the focus on the figure of 'climate refugees' (tainted by environmental determinism and a crude understanding of human mobility) has given ground to a broader conception of the climate-migration nexus. In particular, the idea that migration can represent a legitimate adaptation strategy has emerged strongly. This appears to be a positive development, marked by softer tones that de-securitise clim…
Floods' of migrants, flows of care
This article explores the growing interface between climate-induced mobilities and participation in 'global care chains' under conditions in which climate change is already impacting on lives and livelihoods - especially in the Global South. The authors reconsider discourses on 'climate migration' in the light of everyday caring practices and adaptive responses to climate stress, evaluating how climate policy interferes with 'grassroots' flows of…
Climate migration as an adaption strategy
In the past, the debate on climate-induced migration (CM) was absorbed by the discussion for or against the figure of ‘climate refugees’. Alarmist tones often drawing on a security lexicon were prevalent in media and policy circuits, although fiercely contested by critical scholars. Recently, a mundane register characterized by milder tones has become prevalent. The focus on forced migration (as for climate refugees) has given way to the idea tha…
Exploring the limits of peak oil
Peak oil has acquired prominence in the political lexicon of an increasing number of critical and radical perspectives during the ongoing ecological and economic crisis. By examining examples within academia as well as initiatives such as the D egrowth M ovement and the T ransition N etwork, this paper documents how a series of red‐green discourses and movements mobilise the narrative of peak oil as an alarm bell that signals the inevitability of…
