Abstract Globally, populations are increasingly located in areas at high risk of climate change impacts. Some lack the agency to move out harm’s way, leading involuntary immobility. The risks these face insufficiently addressed policy and disaster planning. While planning should be data-informed, appropriate data not limit governments institutions from taking action reduce Incorporating immobility within broader sustainable development goals safe, orderly, regular migration may substantially

Facing involuntary immobility: Prioritizing the marginalized in climate and disaster risk policy

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 17, 2025

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.

When forecasting and foresight meet data and innovation: toward a taxonomy of anticipatory methods for migration policy

Data & Policy, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 7

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Abstract The various global refugee and migration events of the last few years underscore need for advancing anticipatory strategies in policy. struggle to manage large inflows (or outflows) highlights demand proactive measures based on a sense future. Anticipatory methods, ranging from predictive models foresight techniques, emerge as valuable tools policymakers. These now bolstered by advancements technology leveraging nontraditional data sources, can offer pathway develop more precise, responsive, forward-thinking policies. This paper seeks map out rapidly evolving domain methods realm policy, capturing trend toward integrating quantitative qualitative methodologies harnessing novel data. It introduces new taxonomy designed organize these into three core categories: Experience-based, Exploration-based, Expertise-based. classification aims guide policymakers selecting most suitable specific contexts or questions, thereby enhancing

Improving on Complexity: Ideas for Enhancing Quantitative Modeling of Climate Mobility

Annalen der Physik, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 536(7)

Опубликована: Май 30, 2024

Abstract Quantitative climate mobility research has, so far, focused primarily on change impacts migration outcomes. This focus has led to a separation between quantitative and the broader field of studies. In this paper ways are proposed for better address complexity in relationship mobility. First technical suggestions presented improve upon model setups designs highlight promising developments. Then it is argued that methodologies can broaden scope inquiries by examining how mitigation adaptation efforts influence mobility, as well assessing itself vulnerability.
