While those ‘trapped’ or who choose to stay in areas affected by climate change represent a substantial policy issue, there only small amount of empirical work specifically targeting such populations. The scant attention that is afforded immobility often emphasizes financial constraints as factors driving (involuntary) immobility. As an essential part the mobility spectrum, complexity crisis, including its political dimensions, warrants thorough investigation. In response these gaps, this...
Sustainability and migration are typically treated as discrete policy spheres in international, national, local fora, separated governance structures institutions. This results incoherence that hinders just transitions toward more sustainable societies cognizant of mobile realities. explorative effort identifies the (dis)connections between domains using data collected on how sustainability–migration nexus is governed four countries with a special emphasis urban areas: Belgium, Netherlands,...
Migration represents a major transformation of the lives those involved and has been transformative societies economies globally. Yet models sustainability transformations do not effectively incorporate movement populations. There is an apparent migration-sustainability paradox: migration plays role as driver unsustainability part economic globalisation, yet simultaneously phenomenon potential force for sustainable development. We propose criteria by which opportunity development: increasing...
This paper emphasises the impacts of international migration on old-age perceptions and norms within transnational families, and, specifically, analyses roles zero generation, defined as parents first-generation migrants, both non-migrant counterparts to their children abroad older migrants themselves. Transnational caregiving research has demonstrated that for many families care arrangements must be negotiated across national borders, yet agency adults been largely neglected. Based...
Although it is widely recognized that migration socially transformative, the potential contributions of migrants to transformations towards sustainability in their destination areas are often overlooked mainstream discourse on environmentalism and sustainability.Here we seek identify current narratives across individual, urban, national scales.Migrants commonly framed public policy as having no or even negative impacts sustainability.The study hypotheses lived experience by within urban...
Immobility and mobility are often viewed as fixed, binary opposites: one is either a migrant or non-migrant. Yet, everyday experiences realities elude such simple bifurcation. Non-migrants not necessarily immobile: they frequently participate in small-scale movements well-engaged social spaces that cross international borders. Similarly, migrants engage corporeal, material communicative practices anchor them to their homelands. This article applies climate mobilities lens qualitative case...
Research on the impacts of COVID-19 mobility has focused primarily increased health vulnerabilities involuntary migrant and displaced populations. But virtually all migration flows have been truncated altered because reduced economic opportunities migrants. Here we use a well-established framework decision-making, whereby individual decisions combine aspiration ability to migrate, explain how public responses pandemic alter patterns among urban populations across world. The principal that...
