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). This paper asserts central concern around suffering recentre scenario discourse where, how, adaptation, changes development patterns, government policies reduce Proactive governance at local, national, international levels attends people's adaptation needs avert frequent emergence related changing climate.

Climate change is a problem of unimaginable scope and magnitude – in cause, implication responsibility. Predominant ostensibly scientific frames for evaluating climate-related loss damage focus on the climate events as primary cause. This approach clouds out silences many non-climatic, social political-economic, causes crises. Framing back highlights fuller range potential solutions. It also contentious it locates cause decisions, policies institutions indicating responsibility blame. Choosing political-economic analytic has implications action ethics broadens response abilities

Abstract Disruptive events and calamities can have major consequences for households in the predominantly agrarian communities of Eastern Africa. Here, we analyze impacts environmental non-environmental shocks on migration Tanzania using panel models longitudinal data from National Panel Survey between 2008 2013. Shocks are defined as that lead to losses income, assets, or both. We find resulting changes conditions be positively related over time with more recent exerting strongest impact. According our estimates, probability having a household member absent increases by 0.81% each additional shock encountered past 12 months. Different types differential effects being observed an immediate impact livelihoods, including through livestock crop damage. Households sample differently affected rural, agriculturally dependent, poor without alternative income sources showing their behavior response shocks. Our study adds important insights into relationship disruptive Africa considering broad window compounding influence different types. findings range policy implications highlighting need comprehensive perspective responses times distress considers interplay well role context shaping mobility patterns.
