This study aims to improve the knowledge base on permanent migration intentions under increased flood risk, by collecting and analyzing unique survey data of flood-prone coastal residents in Central Vietnam.
The authors combine data from household surveys, key informant interviews, and secondary sources related to regional disaster, demographic, resource, and economic trends between 1990 and 2020 from north central and central dryland Namibia to investigate (i) human migration flows and the influence of climate hazards on these flows and (ii) the benefits and dis-benefits of migration in supporting climate change adaptation, from the perspective of migrants (personal factors and intervening obstacles), areas of origin, and areas of destination.
The study examines the effects of exposure to historically abnormal rainfall among children in utero on the cognitive development of the same children from 5 to 15 years of age using data from the Young Lives project for Vietnam.
The paper proposes a guiding operational definition and corresponding set of five empirical steps to identify and study trapped populations using data from the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS) as an empirical demonstration.
In this paper, the authors combine results from a longitudinal research program conducted by marine biologists on the dynamics of the local coastal environment and its vulnerability to multiple anthropogenic stressors alongside an ethnographic survey of residents’ perceptions of coastal armoring in Moorea (French Polynesia) and presents a transdisciplinary study focusing on the socio-ecological mechanisms at play in the alteration of Moorea’s coastline.
A discussion of potentiallysignificant implications of climate-related migration on international security, instability, conflict, and geopolitics.
Using data from the Resilient Children, Youth, and Communities study—a longitudinal cohort survey of households with children in BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill (DHOS)-affected areas of South Louisiana, the authors study the effect of DHOS exposure on health trajectories of children, an especially vulnerable population subgroup.
The article “looks back” to the origins of environmental demography, identifying pivotal agenda-setting moments in the 1990s and tracing the impact on contemporary research. Then, it also “looks forward” to identify critical gaps and challenges that remain to be addressed and to set an agenda for future research on population responses to environmental change.
This report, which focuses on three regions—Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America that together represent 55 percent of the developing world’s population—finds that climate change will push tens of millions of people to migrate within their countries by 2050.
This sequel to the Groundswell report includes projections and analysis of internal climate migration for three new regions: East Asia and the Pacific, North Africa, and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Qualitative analyses of climate-related mobility in countries of the Mashreq and in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are also provided. This new report builds on the scenario-based modeling approach of the previous Groundswell report from 2018, which covered Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.
