Future research directions for understanding the interconnections between climate change, water scarcity, and mobility in rural Central Asia
Central Asia faces substantial water scarcity due to increasing water demand driven by rapid urbanization, population growth, economic development, and inefficiency of irrigated agriculture. These developments are compounded by the effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures, loss of glacier mass and increased frequency of extreme events, including droughts. The region's escalating water scarcity is causing disputes and straining rural…
Klimamigration«
Die Folgen des Klimawandels sind nicht mehr zu übersehen – und in Europa hält sich hartnäckig die Angst, dass seine verheerenden Auswirkungen in naher Zukunft eine gigantische Flüchtlingswelle anstoßen werden. Aber was wissen wir wirklich über die Auswirkungen der Erderwärmung auf Flucht und Migration? Benjamin Schraven erläutert, warum europäische Befürchtungen vor Millionen von »Klimaflüchtlingen« aus Teilen Afrikas oder Asiens viel mehr einer …
A future agenda for research on climate change and human mobility
In the past 15 years, research activities focusing on the interlinkages between climate change and human mobility have intensified. At the same time, an increasing number of actors and processes have sought to address human mobility in the context of climate change from a policy perspective. Hitherto, research has been limited in terms of geographical preferences as well as conceptual and methodological focus areas. This paper argues that to addr…

Human mobility in the context of LFDD in Latin America and the Caribbean
Slow onset processes have been increasingly linked to human mobility in the global policy space. Yet, land and forest degradation and desertification (LFDD) as a driver of human displacement and its implications for long-term development policy have received less attention. This paper aims to fill this gap by investigating to what extent the topic has been integrated into the national climate and desertification policy frameworks of countries in …
Migration, Risk Management and Climate Change
Time matters
This article examines the interrelationships between rainfall variability, livelihood/food security and migration in rural Savannah communities in Northern Ghana. It addresses the question of how strong dry season migration is pronounced and whether the recent dominant migration type is a coping or adaptation mechanism. The analysis is based on empirical research conducted in four communities of the Nadowli District (Upper West Region), using a m…
