Climate change and disasters (Forced Migration Review 49)

FMR 49 - Temporary protection arrangements to fill a gap in the protection regime

Predictable measures are needed to provide protection for people displaced across borders by disasters, where there is currently a gap.

FMR 49 - Refugees, climate change and international law

How can the category of ‘climate refugee’ be considered within international law in the 21st century?

FMR 49 - Displacement as a consequence of climate change mitigation policies

Climate change mitigation policies and ‘green solutions’, such as biofuels, are also creating displacement.

FMR 49 - Statelessness and environmental displacement

Stateless people and migrants are at greater risk of displacement and are less likely to receive assistance; in turn, environmental displacement (especially multiple migrations) heightens the risk of becoming stateless.

FMR 49 - A role for strategic litigation

Strategic litigation to protect individuals at risk can usefully support higher-level protection initiatives.

FMR 49 - Floods and migration in the Czech Republic

Residents’ strategies are generally aimed at either protection from or adaptation to flooding. Large-scale migration from the floodplains of rivers has not been seriously considered, even in high-risk zones.

FMR 49 - 'One Safe Future’ in the Philippines

The Philippine government’s ‘One Safe Future’ programme relocated disaster-affected poor families in areas where structures enabling opportunities are lacking.

FMR 49 - Cross-border migration with dignity in Kiribati

The ‘migration with dignity’ policy is part of Kiribati’s long-term nation-wide relocation strategy.

FMR 49 - Land, disasters and mobility in the South Pacific

The adaptive characteristics of customary land systems deserve greater recognition in disaster or climate change policy frameworks.

FMR 49 - Not drowning but fighting: Pacific Islands activists

Focusing on climate-induced migration, rather than mitigation, can be at odds with grassroots demands and can make the future uninhabitability of some Pacific Islands appear as a foregone conclusion.

FMR 49 - Samoa: local knowledge, climate change and population movements

The voices of scientists, academics, politicians and development practitioners dominate the climate change debate, yet local knowledge, values and beliefs are essential elements of navigating the way forward for affected communities.

FMR 49 - Facilitating voluntary adaptive migration in the Pacific

Voluntary adaptive migration across int'l borders will be a critical component of an overall adaptation strategy for at-risk individuals and households in the Pacific in order to increase their resilience to natural hazards and prevent future displicement

FMR 49 - Integrating resilience in South Asia

Communities can strengthen their resilience by integrating disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and poverty reduction measures.

FMR 49 - “Everyone likes it here”

Sea-level rise threatens communities of the Lakshadweep islands. But what happens when belongingness, religious beliefs and the identity of being an islander make them stay?

FMR 49 - Building adaptive capacity in Assam

A starting point for adapting to longer-term climate change could be adaptation to short-term climate variability and extreme events. Making more informed choices about the use of remittances can enhance the adaptive capacity of receiving households.

FMR 49 - Mixed motivations and complex causality in the Mekong

Many climate change-affected communities have already been using migration as a means to adapt to and withstand the challenges to their livelihoods and security. Strengthening of existing protections for all migrants is clearly advantageous.

FMR 49 - One good reason to speak of ‘climate refugees’

The concept of ‘environmental refugees’, or ‘climate refugees’, has been progressively abandoned, as having no legal basis. I want to argue that there are good reasons to use the term.

FMR 49 - Governance questions for the international community

The Nansen Initiative has highlighted significant questions about how the international community should collectively think about displacement and mobility issues relating to natural disasters and climate change, and how to improve the governance thereof.

FMR 49 - Building respectful solutions

Tribes in coastal Alaska and Louisiana in the United States are among the communities at immediate risk of displacement due to climate change impacts.

FMR 49 General - The Cartagena process: 30 years of innovation and solidarity

The 30th anniversary of the 1984 Cartagena Declaration offers the opportunity to consider the achievements of the Cartagena process and the specific characteristics that make it so remarkable.
