Abstract Cities and local governments are important actors in the global governance of climate change; however, specific principles arrangements that enable urban plans policies to realize commitments social equity justice remain largely unexplored. This article uses City Barcelona, Spain, as a critical case study emerging “intersectional justice” practice, where build resilience change pursued conjunction with efforts tackle structural inequalities accessing built environment, health services, energy, housing, transportation experienced by frontline communities. The illustrates how Barcelona its community partners do this through four different categories decision‐making tactics, which include: (1) experimenting disruptive planning strategies; (2) working transversally across agencies institutionalize over time; (3) putting care at center planning; (4) mobilizing place‐based approaches intersecting vulnerabilities residents. These tactics seek redistribute benefits climate‐resilient infrastructures more fairly enhance participatory processes meaningfully. Finally, we assess limitations challenges these everyday politics.

Climate change poses threats to individuals, communities, and cities globally. Global conversations scholarly debates have explored ways people adapt the impacts of climate including through migration relocation. This study uses Lagos, Nigeria as a case examine relationship between flooding events, intentions preferred adaptation, destination choices for affected residents. The draws on mixed-methods approach which involved survey 352 residents semi-structured interviews with 21 We use capability analyze mobility decisions following major or repetitive flood events. found that majority are willing migrate but ability do so is constrained by economic, social, political factors leading involuntary immobility. Furthermore, intra-city relocation other states in internationally. These findings challenge popular South-North narratives. Indeed, some welcome government-supported plans others remain skeptical due lack trust. Community-based may therefore be Lagosians. Overall, this contributes nuanced understanding response climate-induced one world's largest coastal cities.

Abstract The academic literature on personal experiences of climate-induced wellbeing erosion (often conceptualised as ‘non-economic losses and damages’) is still limited. This represents a serious climate policy gap that hinders support for marginalised people across the world including Indigenous People. Lately, we have seen rapid growth in empirical studies exploring linkages between change mental health among Inuit Canada. However, its association with human (im)mobility remains unexplored. review article brings together evidence perceptions climate-related loss while providing guidance appropriate action. systematic investigates how Arctic Canada felt climatic changes impacted their putting these feelings into wider context colonial violence, forced child removal, residential schools, other rights abuses. Twelve electronic databases (four specific to research) were searched English French, peer reviewed, qualitative published 2000 2021. Fifteen selected articles analysed using NVivo thematic narrative analysis from climate-violence-health nexus systems approach. Three overarching themes, all strongly intertwined immobility, emerged namely ‘identity cultural loss’, ‘land connection source healing’, ‘changing environment triggering emotional distress’. narratives circled around land temporary interrupted this relationship.

While migration is often conceptualized as an adaptive response to climate hazards, can also present severe risks people on the move. In this paper, we attempt operationalize Representative Key Risks (RKR) framework of Sixth Assessment Report Working Group II Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) for human mobility. First, provide a understanding how mobility emerge by engaging with concept habitability. We argue that uninhabitability occurs where physical environment loses suitability and there loss agency in local populations. The severity risk from habitability then represented high potential suffering. When hazards affect agency, forms occur undermine wellbeing right self-determination: forced displacement, community relocation/resettlement, involuntary immobility. Second, show such are more or less likely along different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs).

Technical synthesize 10 topics research where there have been significant advances or emerging scientific consensus since January 2021. The selection of these insights was based on input an international open call with broad disciplinary scope. Findings concern: (1) aspects soft hard adaptation; (2) emergence regional hotspots impacts human vulnerability; (3) horizon – some involving plants animals; (4) need anticipatory action; (5) security climate; (6) management a prerequisite land-based solutions; (7) finance in private sector political guidance; (8) urgent planetary imperative addressing damages; (9) choices climate-resilient development (10) how Social media Science has evidence them avoid adaptation across multiple fields.

Abstract Researchers have long hypothesized linkages between climate change, food security, and migration in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). One such hypothesis is the “agricultural pathway,” which postulates that negative change impacts on production harm livelihoods, triggers rural out-migration, internally or abroad. Migration thus an adaptation to cope with of bolster livelihoods. Recent evidence suggests agriculture pathway a plausible mechanism explain climate-related migration. But direct causal connections from livelihood loss out-migration yet be fully established. To guide future research climate-food-migration nexus, we present conceptual framework outlines components underpinning agricultural LMICs. We build established environmental-migration frameworks informed empirical deepened our understanding complex human-environmental systems. First, provide overview its connection mobility literature. then outline primary as they pertain LMIC contexts, highlighting current gaps challenges relating pathway. Last, discuss possible directions for nexus. By complex, multiscale, interconnected underpin pathway, unpacks multiple currently lie hidden hypothesis.

Abstract Globally, populations are increasingly located in areas at high risk of frequent, extreme weather events. Some exposed have the ability to move safer places; others unable get out harm’s way. The climate risks facing these involuntary immobile not often addressed by local and national authorities, despite increasing recognition international development agencies humanitarian actors. Here we discuss when how events lead immobility considering influence political, socioeconomic, environmental factors. Addressing barriers policy disaster planning, early warning systems anticipatory action could be tailored support involuntarily communities. While planning should data-informed, lack appropriate data quality limit governments institutions from taking action. Immobility needs aligned with broader sustainable objectives which entail justice orderly migration.
