Climate-Induced Migration in the Global South: an in Depth Analysis

Climate-induced migration in the Global South: an in depth analysis

Scientists predict ongoing global climate change to trigger adverse events affecting about 143 million people in the Global South by 2050, leading to various forms of migration and mobility. While existing literature extensively examines climate-induced migration, there is a lack of studies considering the compounding impacts of multiple climate hazards on migration, mobility, and immobility. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic litera…

The Australia-Tuvalu climate migration treaty is a drop in the ocean

Australia has offered a lifeline to the people of Tuvalu, whose island is threatened by rising sea levels. But the deal comes with strings attached – and there will be millions more climate migrants in need of refuge by 2050

Australia's climate visa: A model for sinking islands?

As rising seas threaten to swallow the island nation of Tuvalu, Australia's "climate visa" aims to reach out to Tuvaluans, helping them make choices in the face of slow-moving disaster.

A Landmark Geoengineering Conversation in the Global South

Photo Credit: The Degrees Initiative/Sasika Wegner (CC BY 4.0) I post periodically about developments in the debate over solar geoengineering (SRM) and its potential role in response to climate change. News accounts may suggest that this debate moves fast, but it has three enduring, large-scale themes. First, SRM presents high stakes for climate risks and response – which most governments thus far have been reluctant to acknowledge. Second, it i…
