Supporting migration as a response to climate risk
Human migration is a prevalent and widely used strategy to deal with emerging risks from climate and environmental change. Yet the reality of migration and its consequences are underrepresented in policies and interventions for adaptation. We outline a framework that proposes relevant normative dimensions to support evaluation of migration-as-adaptation in terms of what makes it successful, for whom, and in what circumstances. We review evidence …
Globalized Climate Precarity
Climate-linked disasters result when natural hazards meet socioeconomic precarity. Recognizing this, scholarship in recent years has emphasized how the precarity that turns climate-linked hazards into disasters is produced within the same global political economy that enables climate change. Nevertheless, despite growing interest in the ways in which the dynamics of global economic history shapes contemporary hazard vulnerability, less attention …
Covid-19 responses restricted abilities and aspirations for mobility and migration
Research on the impacts of COVID-19 on mobility has focused primarily on the increased health vulnerabilities of involuntary migrant and displaced populations. But virtually all migration flows have been truncated and altered because of reduced economic and mobility opportunities of migrants. Here we use a well-established framework of migration decision-making, whereby individual decisions combine the aspiration and ability to migrate, to explai…
Impact of Migration on Transformation to Sustainability
This book contains the findings from the third wave of a migration focused panel survey in Bangladesh. It examines the interrelationships between labour migration, poverty, and development based on 6,100 interviews including international labour migrants, internal migrants and non-migrant households spanning 20 districts of Bangladesh. The first wave of survey (2014) found that among these three groups poverty level is much lower for internationa…
Trading disaster
This paper examines how global trade shapes and intensifies disasters. Juxtaposing three basic, everyday consumer goods – a t‐shirt, a brick, and a tea bag – with disasters manifesting in their respective global supply chains, it highlights how climate change, local environmental degradation, and carbon emissions are dynamically shaped by consumption. Analysis of data collected in South and Southeast Asia reveals that local environmental degradat…
Policy Opportunities and Constraints for Addressing Urban Precarity of Migrant Populations
Addressing sources and drivers of precarity among marginalized migrant populations in urban spaces is central to making cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable for all. Yet dominant policy discourses continue to frame migrants as problematic causes of insecurity and tend to exclude them from policy processes. Deliberative democratic theory suggests that inclusive processes have the potential to create innovative solutions for resilient …
Perceived environmental risks and insecurity reduce future migration intentions in hazardous migration source areas
The migration-sustainability paradox
Migration represents a major transformation of the lives of those involved and has been transformative of societies and economies globally. Yet models of sustainability transformations do not effectively incorporate the movement of populations. There is an apparent migration-sustainability paradox: migration plays a role as a driver of unsustainability as part of economic globalisation, yet simultaneously represents a transformative phenomenon an…
Urban sustainability and the subjective well‐being of migrants
While material conditions of migrant populations on average tend to improve over time as they become established in new destinations, individual trajectories of material and subjective well‐being often diverge. Here, we analyse how social and environmental factors in the urban environment shape the subjective well‐being of migrant populations. We hypothesise these factors to include (a) perceived social and environmental risk, (b) attachment to p…
Human security of urban migrant populations affected by length of residence and environmental hazards
It is widely suggested that migration is a key mechanism linking climate change to violent conflict, particularly through migration increasing the risks of conflict in urban destinations. Yet climate change also creates new forms of insecurity through distress migration, immobility and vulnerability that are prevalent in urban destination locations. Here we examine the extent and nature of human security in migration destinations and test whether…
Commentary
The science of resilience suggests that urban systems become resilient when they promote progressive transformative change to social and physical infrastructure. But resilience is challenged by global environmental risks and by social and economic trends that create inequality and exclusion. Here we argue that distortionary inequality and precarity undermine social processes that give access to public infrastructure and ecosystems thereby undermi…
