Abstract Scientists predict ongoing global climate change to trigger adverse events affecting about 143 million people in the Global South by 2050, leading various forms of migration and mobility. While existing literature extensively examines climate-induced migration, there is a lack studies considering compounding impacts multiple hazards on mobility, immobility. To address this gap, we conducted systematic review explore how stressors, specifically rising temperatures, water stress droughts, floods sea-level rise, have affected populations South, voluntary and/or forced migration. Our findings show that these stressors displaced profoundly impacted millions people, resulting both internal transboundary Climate-induced often through indirect pathways influenced intervening institutional, political, socio-economic factors programmatic policy gaps. Effectively addressing challenges related necessitates adaptation strategies adequately consider while recognizing their differential effects socio-demographic groups. We argue support from North countries, including compensation for loss damage, along with continued institutional financial international non-governmental organizations, crucial managing South. Without proper planning adequate resources, may escalate significantly impact human security. The study can inform policies assist experts identifying intervention mechanisms opportunities people-centered solutions.

Eco-emotions: validation of the multi-dimensional inventory of climate emotions in an Australian sample

Frontiers in Climate, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 7

Опубликована: Апрель 9, 2025

Introduction Australia’s diverse climate and temperatures render it susceptible to adverse extreme weather events, the impacts on social, emotional psychological wellbeing are complex. Recent studies in Poland, Ireland Norway validated a multi-dimensional integrative assessment of eco-emotions tool, Inventory Climate Emotions (ICE). Methods Given variations geographical, climatic, political cultural factors experienced worldwide, is necessary evaluate ICE across countries. This study first validation an Australian sample ( N = 659), provides evidence its structure, reliability validity. Results Confirmatory factor analysis indicated good fit after removal one item from isolation subscale, with model indices CFI 0.96, TLI 0.95, SRMR 0.045, RMSEA 0.049. The demonstrated strong internal consistency, Cronbach’s alphas ranging 0.79 0.94, moderate test–retest all subscales except for Powerlessness (ICC 0.48 0.74). Convergent validity was supported by significant positive correlations between Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale, while divergent through weak or non-significant Riverside Life Satisfaction Scale. Discussion As not developed Australia, may account full range unique ecological socio-cultural context. However, this important initial support use Australia suggests that some emotions be common cultures.

Human migration on a heating planet: A scoping review

Whilst people’s migration outcomes may be influenced by climate change, the interaction of heat with and migrants is little understood. This scoping review explores relationship between human migration, focusing on i) whether how functions as a driver ii) are impacted across migratory journey. Four databases were searched for peer-reviewed literature to identify studies reporting heat-migration nexus through 18 June 2021, alongside grey search. Of 12,149 476 records, 187 articles screened in full, resulting inclusion 50 records (47 peer-reviewed, 3 grey). Publications assessed impact (n = 32), or experience among 18). In former, 16/32 report significant positive association where exposure increases likelihood intention migrate. Moderating factors pathway include other climatic factors, agricultural productivity, economic opportunities, age, gender. The vast majority assessing reported negative impacts (such related illness, stress premature mortality) compared non-migrants. Heat aggravated poor infrastructure, insufficient workplace adaptations, lower educational level, socio-economic factors. Findings suggest influence patterns terms move, risk when consequences settled migrants. However, heterogeneous results not all contexts. No so-called ‘temperature threshold’ above which certain. Developing comparability measurements heat, impacts, definitions environmentally-induced support future research on, reduction for, response

By shedding light on interplay between gradual ecological shifts and rapid climate shocks, it exposes misalignment policies mobility strategies marginalized communities.

An interdisciplinary review of systemic risk factors leading up to existential risks

Progress in Disaster Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 22, С. 100326 - 100326

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2024

Systemic risks derive from a mix of economic, technological, socio political, and ecological factors. Inherently interdisciplinary, the study systemic risk draws on financial shock models, operations research, global health, foresight, management, military strategy, assessment, sociology, disaster security studies, science technology existential (X-risk) research as well AI biorisk communities. The requires developing transdisciplinary tools that can better integrate insights drawn these disparate fields despite high uncertainty. Nevertheless, there remains no overarching framework specifically formulated for beyond economics. This paper reviews this body work aiming to begin formulating an approach integrated leading up or X-risks, possibility human extinction. Given threaten entire societies might cascade across systems, various should align factors vocabulary combine increase humanity's resilience.

The thesis "Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of Ecological Refugees in Great Derangement; Climate Change and the Unthinkable" investigates discourse surrounding ecological refugees context Amitav Ghosh's realistic novel, Unthinkable, using critical analysis through three distinct lenses: textually—oriented CDA Fairclough, discursive psychology Laclau Mouffe's theory. This plunges into portrayal, disagreement negotiation extensive text analysis, social practice providing light on their unique representation its consequences nonfiction academic writing. covers a wide range aspects refugee discourse, such as identity, colonial power, trauma, vulnerability Anthropocene. Additionally, this adds considerably to broader conversation about by underlining need for more complete inclusive portrayals literature. It emphasizes how rhetorical devices patterns help us understand climate—induced displacement, societal narrative realignment recognize our connectivity with environment.
