How Should We Talk About Climate Change and Migration
This paper is a response Ferris (2020), specifically to the call for coalescence around a single term by which to talk about people migrating in response to climate change. While sympathetic to the imperative behind Ferris’ (2020) call, my overall argument is to reject this proposal. Instead I argue for less of focus on what we call people migrating in response to climate change, and more of a focus on how we talk about them. To justify this, I a…
The Environment-Mobility Nexus: Reconceptualizing the Links between Environmental Stress, (Im)mobility, and Power
This chapter examines apolitical mono-causal depictions of ‘climate-induced displacement’ by focusing on communities whose livelihoods are differently affected by processes of environmental stress on the basis of their position within diverse systems of power. More specifically, it considers how the environment influences mobility decisions in the context of environmental stress such as climate change. It looks at the experiences of four countrie…
Climate Change and Human Mobility: Challenges to the Social Sciences
'The greatest single impact of climate change could be on human migration', stated the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1990. Since then there has been considerable concern about the large-scale population movements that might take place because of climate change. This book examines emerging patterns of human mobility in relation to climate change, drawing on a multidisciplinary approach including anthropology and geography. It…
Rethinking the 'debate on environmental refugees: From 'Maximilists and Minimalists' to 'Proponents and Critics
The debate over 'environmental refugees' is prominent in the literature on environmental change and human migration. Protagonists in the debate are 'maximilists' and 'minimalists' depending on their support for the concept. This article argues for the use of 'proponents' and 'critics' of the term. A nuanced critique of the 'proponent account' is offered, showing how the 'environmental refugee' is a particular representation of the relationship be…
