Making Mobility Work for Adaptation to Environmental Challenges: Results from MECLEP global research
This comparative report of six countries empirically tests how migration can benefit or undermine adaptation to environmental and climate change, based on MECLEP research.
Risk-related resettlement and relocation in urban areas
This CDKN Essentials summarises recommendations on the appropriateness of, and best practices for, urban resettlement and relocation as a response to disaster risk.
TransRe - Building resilience through translocality.
The TransRe project seeks to decipher the relations between migration, translocality and social resilience to climate change based on case studies carried out in Thailand and migration destinations.
Role of Social Networks in Resilience: Rural Thailand
The subproject studies migration networks by carrying out a social network analysis. The aim is to understand the influence of network properties on the ability to respond to climatic risks.
Mass displacement and urban resilience
People displaced by conflict and disasters increasingly end up in urban areas. This Working Paper assesses the impact of mass displacement on the wellbeing of all urban residents.
Migration as adaptation?
The issue discusses possible adaptation policies and current CC and development policy structures on human mobility in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Kenya, Mauritius, PNG and Vietnam.
Relocation as an adaptation strategy to environmental stress
Is relocation an adequate means of adaptation to environmental change? This policy brief analyses the success factors of relocation programmes in the Mekong River Delta (Vietnam).
When do households benefit from migration?
Building on the main results of the MECLEP case study in Haiti, this policy brief recommends policies aimed at fostering the potential of migration as a positive adaptation strategy.
Environmentally-Induced Displacement
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate environmentally-induced displacement as an increasingly important category of population movement that represents a new set of challenges to the international community and to public international law as well.
Transformations in Risk
This theme of climate and migration is concerned with the interaction of multiple stressors and understanding how processes scale up to take on regional and global significance, resulting in humanitarian crises and permanent migration.
