Abstract ‘Environmental non-migration’ refers to the spatial continuity of an individual’s residence at same place despite environmental risk. Moreover, this is a largely under-researched topic, especially within climate change adaptation discourse, but increasingly coming attention scientists and policymakers for sustainable planning. So far, there exists hardly any conceptual methodical guidelines study non-migration. Considering research gap, paper explores non-migration based on notion that factors livelihood resilience can partly explain decision Here, seen as outcome interactions between societal conditions individual household. These inform decisions (to stay or migrate) taken in case hazard creeping change. Their influence generalises spectrum migration decision-making migrate), which conceptualised by four broad outcomes categorised into voluntary involuntary, non-migrants migrants. This analytical concept operationalised through empirical example southwest coastal Bangladesh. The results suggest Livelihood Resilience Index (LRI) relates nature once they are made. Still, only household’s cannot predict household makes migrate. concludes proposed concept, with its exemplary factors, maybe initial means holistically explore context natural hazards However, remains complex multi-faceted, assessment requires deeper examination various scales.

To understand the implications of migration for sustainable development requires a comprehensive consideration range population movements and their feedback across space time. This Perspective reviews emerging science at interface studies, demography, sustainability, focusing on consequences flows nature-society interactions including societal outcomes such as inequality; environmental causes involuntary displacement; processes cultural convergence in sustainability practices dynamic new populations. We advance framework that demonstrates how result identifiable resources, burdens well-being, innovation, adaptation, challenges governance. elaborate research frontiers science, explicitly integrating full spectrum regular decisions dominated by economic motives through to displacement due social or stresses. Migration can potentially contribute transitions when it enhances well-being while not exacerbating structural inequalities compound uneven resources.

Abstract In WIREs Climate Change , Issue 1(4), 2010, I suggested a typology of the data and methods used to assess links between climate change, environmental degradation migration (Piguet, 2010). My review literature included publications up 2009. Since then, number empirically based scientific on this topic has risen substantially average 40 articles per year scope methods, stock results diversity questions widened. Based CLIMIG database—a systematic analytic collection references published environment—this new synthesis provides methodological an exceptionally large case studies. This will complement existing reviews meta‐studies allow global overview state research by identifying consensus disagreements, revisiting challenges mapping current future questions. article is categorized under: Vulnerability Adaptation > Values‐Based Approach

Migration can strengthen adaptation to climate change. The potential of migration-as-adaptation builds on a world intensifying global mobility and connectedness the increasing possibility geographically spreading risks. But what if is impeded connectivity disrupted? And happens distant places face risks simultaneously due systemic character or multiplicity crises? This paper points fundamental gaps in research migration-as-adaptation, which largely neglects questions limits. It argues that an understanding limits needs address (1) migration as inherent feature social systems under stress, (2) unequal contested nature goals, (3) immobility, disconnectedness simultaneous exposure core mechanisms limit adaptive migration. proposes novel translocal-mobilities perspective multi-scalar, multi-local, relational intersectional dynamics migration-as-adaptation. formulates for adaptation. A comprehensive will help scientific community build more realistic scenarios change provide entry policies avoid reaching mitigate negative consequences.
