Climate Change and Human Mobility in the Global South

This chapter offers a socio-political account of the ways in which the relations between climate change and human mobility manifest themselves in different regions of the Global South. By means of a literature review and empirical illustrations, the chapter demonstrates how climate mobility patterns are embedded within often uneven social and political dynamics which shape whether, how, and to where people move. This involves socio-economic dynamics such as gender inequality, or policy developments such as donor agendas impacting local manifestations of climate mobility in the Global South, and also the political role of state borders and how these influence the ways people can move in the context of climate risk. This together shows the social and political dimensions of climate mobility in the Global South.
