Using the Solomon Islands as a case study and drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives, the paper suggests an analytical frame for polycentric property system responses to climate migration.
The paper explores the the impacts of climate and disaster-induced relocations in Fiji and the Philippines of communities living on, or neighboring, relocation site land.
The study provides a detailed account of out-migration from and return migration to Puerto Rico in the quarters and years after Hurricane Maria using data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York/Equifax Consumer Credit Panel.
Findings from community consultations across 16 communities within the settings of two ongoing participatory action research projects conducted by UN-Habitat and research partners from Australian universities in Honiara, Solomon Islands, and Port Vila, Vanuatu, demonstrate the critical role of endogenous modes of resilience, as well as the strong correlation between these spaces and sub-city climate vulnerability.
In this study, the authors conducted field research among islanders in Malé, the capital of Maldives, in 2013, using quantitative questionnaires with local respondents (N=347), focusing on the Maldivian perspectives on climate change impacts and migration patterns, examining links (or lack of links) between the two phenomena.
Using the case of Tuvalu, the paper analysed key environmental factors said to contribute to population movement, in addition to considering time factors, in order to show how typologies for environmentally induced population movement need to be understood in a contextualised manner.
The study using a questionnaire (n = 60) as the primary method of data collection, explores how local community members have taken it upon themselves to respond to the impacts of climate change by utilizing a number of different strategies.
This is a discussion of the the possible solutions and protection alternatives for climate change displacement for the inhabitants of Small Islands Developing States (SIDS), and particularly of Atolls Islands States.
This study covers outcomes from our field research in Male, the capital of Maldives, in 2013, using quantitative questionnaires with local respondents (N=347). The results suggest that, besides a set of actually experienced environmental and climate challenges, slow-onset climate change impacts such as sea-level rise are perceived as being one of the key factors affecting Maldivian society and livelihoods.
Using the case of Shishmaref, Alaska, a rural Iñupiat community on the northwest coast of Alaska facing habitual flooding disasters linked to climate change, this article integrates research on disasters and climate change-induced migration with emerging perspectives from environmental psychology and the psychology of natural disasters to consider the potential costs of particular migration scenarios.
