Humans on the Move

In Human Mobility and Climate Change, Grant Dawson and Rachel Laut examine the sufficiency of legal frameworks to address human movement relating to climate change impacts and the progressive transition to a more adaptive approach.

As global climate change continues to alter the environment, humans are moving. In this context, human mobility can be an empowered adaptation strategy or an unwelcome necessity for survival with a high cost. Existing legal frameworks provide only a patchwork of protection for some climate change mobility scenarios. In Humans on the Move, Grant Dawson and Rachel Laut investigate the development of an adaptive approach to climate change mobility and explore how transformational adaptation strategies can—and must—be integrated with a rights-based approach.
