This edited volume advances our understanding of climate relocation (or planned retreat), an emerging topic in the fields of climate adaptation and hazard risk, and provides a platform for alternative voices and views on the subject. As the effects of climate change become more severe and widespread, there is a growing conversation about when, where and how people will move. Climate relocation is a controversial adaptation strategy, yet the process can also offer opportunity and hope. This collection grapples with the environmental and social justice dimensions from multiple perspectives, with cases drawn from Africa, Asia, Australia, Oceania, South America, and North America. The contributions throughout present unique perspectives, including community organizations, adaptation practitioners, geographers, lawyers, and landscape architects, reflecting on the potential harms and opportunities of climate-induced relocation. Works of art, photos, and quotes from flood survivors are also included, placed between sections to remind the reader of the human element in the adaptation debate. Blending art - photography, poetry, sculpture - with practical reflections and scholarly analyses, this volume provides new insights on a debate that touches us all: how we will live in the future and where? Challenging readers' pre-conceptions about planned retreat by juxtaposing different disciplines, lenses and media, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, environmental migration and displacement, and environmental justice and equity.

Les liens étroits entre raréfaction de l'eau, changements climatiques et flux migratoires méritent d'être examinés à la loupe. Au prisme de regards interdisciplinaires croisés, leurs interactions profondes sont ici cernées et illustrées à travers des analyses nationales, régionales et internationales, avec un focus sur le continent africain. Aux facteurs classiques des phénomènes migratoires s'ajoutent des déterminants induits par les dérèglements climatiques et d'autres chocs écologiques, dont le stress hydrique. Ce faisceau de causes complexes de la mobilité engendre une nouvelle catégorie de migrants, au sein et au-delà des nations : les déplacés environnementaux. Démunis d'un statut juridique propre, ils ont impérativement besoin d'être reconnus et protégés comme tels, au moyen d'un traité spécifique. Parallèlement, la crise de l'eau s'aiguise mondialement, accentuant na nécessité d'intégrer les enjeux géostratégiques de la gestion durables e solidaire des ressources hydriques en vue d'assurer le bien-être et la survie des êtres vivants. Dès lors, il importe de renforcer la place de l'eau dans la diplomatie climatique par une coordination accrue des agendas de l'eau et du climat. Il est également essentiel de rehausser l'ambition des stratégies nationales de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre afin de garder la température mondiale sous le seuil de 1,5°C. Stabilité climatique, sécurité hydrique et mobilité humaine doivent se conjuguer harmonieusement, dans le respect de la dimension transgénérationnelle des droits de l'Homme et de l'Humanité.

One of the most significant impacts of climate change is migration. Yet, to date, climate-induced migrants are falling within what has been defined by some as a ‘protection gap’. This book addresses this issue, first by identifying precisely where the gap exists, by reviewing the relevant legal tools that are available for those who are currently, and who will in the future be displaced because of climate change. The authors then address the relevant actors; the identity of those deserving protection (displaced individuals), as well as other bearers of rights (migration-hosting states) and obligations (polluting states) The authors also address head-on the contentious topic of definitions, concluding with the provocative assertion that the term ‘climate refugees’ is indeed correct and should be relied upon.　The second part of the book looks to the future by advocating specific legal and institutional pathways. Notably, the authors support the use of international environmental law as the most adequate and suitable regime for the regulation of climate refugees. With respect to the role of institutions, the authors propose a model of ‘cross-governance’, through which a more inclusive and multi-faceted protection regime could be achieved. Addressing the regulation of climate refugees through a unique collaboration between a refugee lawyer and an environmental lawyer, this book will be of great interest to scholars and professionals in fields including international law, environmental studies, refugee studies and international relations.
