Women on the move? Mainstreaming gender in policies and legal frameworks addressing climate-induced migration
Climate change impacts are gendered. This is also true for climate-induced migration, which affects men and women differently. On account of this difference, legal instruments and policies seeking to address and support climate-induced migration need to be gender-focused to address differentiated needs and outcomes. This paper looks at existing policies and legal instruments for the inclusion of gender aspects of climate-related migration. We foc…
The Multi-Dimensional Emergence of Climate-Induced Migrants in Rights-Based Litigation in the Global South
The article evidences to what extent rights-based climate litigation is applied as a strategy to enhance the recognition and protection of climate-induced migrants. Adopting a deductive approach and desk review, the study, illustrates how climate-induced migration has been addressed by International Human Rights Law, with some attention also paid to the growing application of the right to a safe climate and climate justice. The study highlights t…
Of Harm, Culprits and Rectification
In light of the accelerating nature of climate change and its effect, it is unsurprising that various entities increasingly resort to courts and tribunals to seek to address the many harms and wrongs that clearly stem from climate change. This article discusses the opportunities in this context for those who face displacement by the effects of climate change, an issue that is not necessarily at the heart of either climate justice debates or clima…
Relocation planning must address voluntary immobility
Human mobility and environmental change
Indigenous (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene
This paper explores Indigenous (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene, and their relationship to Pacific Islands climate activism. In a context where Indigenous peoples and perspectives are poorly represented in global climate politics, it is important to understand how Pacific people represent their own interests and imagine their own futures as pressures to move due to climate change take hold. We examine political action outside of formal governan…
Distributive Justice
The chapter stays with distributive justice, turning to the concept of burden-sharing, which arises in international law and relations, not least in relation to hosting or sheltering people on the move. The chapter explores the concept’s normative foundations, also in relation to justice, and shows how these are complex, therefore making this a difficult concept to apply. The chapter nevertheless explores interstate motivations for sharing, the e…
Climate Change and People on the Move
The book applies a justice framework to analysis of the actual and potential role of international law with respect to people on the move in the context of anthropogenic climate change. That people are affected by the impacts of climate change is no longer doubted, including with implications for the movement of people (migration, displacement, relocation, etc.). The book tackles unique questions concerning international responsibility for people…
Transformative mobilities in the P acific
Climate change is affecting Pacific life in significant and complex ways. Human mobility is shaped by climate change and is increasingly positioned by international agencies, policymakers, and governments as having an important role in both climate change adaptation and human development. We consider the potential for human mobility to promote adaptation and development among Pacific people in a changing climate. We argue that where Pacific peopl…

Stormy Weather
As early as 1990, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that millions of people would be displaced by the effects of climate change, whether through drought, flooding, famine or other causes, presenting a significant challenge to the international community. Particularly impacted will be already vulnerable small island developing states, such as many island nations in the South Pacific Ocean. It is on this geographic region that Da…
Dental disease in a Romano‐British skeletal population from Baldock, Hertfordshire
In the 1980s preparatory mechanical excavations for a new phase of building development at Baldock, Hertfordshire, revealed Romano‐British inhumations. Subsequent excavations recovered 122 burials, which have been attributed to the fourth century AD . The material was submitted to the Calvin Wells Laboratory, University of Bradford, for detailed skeletal examination. This paper discusses the oral pathology identified and quantified for this relat…
