Climate change and disasters (Forced Migration Review 49)

FMR 49 - Not drowning but fighting: Pacific Islands activists

Focusing on climate-induced migration, rather than mitigation, can be at odds with grassroots demands and can make the future uninhabitability of some Pacific Islands appear as a foregone conclusion.

FMR 49 - Samoa: local knowledge, climate change and population movements

The voices of scientists, academics, politicians and development practitioners dominate the climate change debate, yet local knowledge, values and beliefs are essential elements of navigating the way forward for affected communities.

FMR 49 - Facilitating voluntary adaptive migration in the Pacific

Voluntary adaptive migration across int'l borders will be a critical component of an overall adaptation strategy for at-risk individuals and households in the Pacific in order to increase their resilience to natural hazards and prevent future displicement

FMR 49 - Integrating resilience in South Asia

Communities can strengthen their resilience by integrating disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and poverty reduction measures.

FMR 49 - “Everyone likes it here”

Sea-level rise threatens communities of the Lakshadweep islands. But what happens when belongingness, religious beliefs and the identity of being an islander make them stay?

FMR 49 - Building adaptive capacity in Assam

A starting point for adapting to longer-term climate change could be adaptation to short-term climate variability and extreme events. Making more informed choices about the use of remittances can enhance the adaptive capacity of receiving households.

FMR 49 - Mixed motivations and complex causality in the Mekong

Many climate change-affected communities have already been using migration as a means to adapt to and withstand the challenges to their livelihoods and security. Strengthening of existing protections for all migrants is clearly advantageous.

FMR 49 - One good reason to speak of ‘climate refugees’

The concept of ‘environmental refugees’, or ‘climate refugees’, has been progressively abandoned, as having no legal basis. I want to argue that there are good reasons to use the term.

FMR 49 - Governance questions for the international community

The Nansen Initiative has highlighted significant questions about how the international community should collectively think about displacement and mobility issues relating to natural disasters and climate change, and how to improve the governance thereof.

FMR 49 - Building respectful solutions

Tribes in coastal Alaska and Louisiana in the United States are among the communities at immediate risk of displacement due to climate change impacts.

FMR 49 General - The Cartagena process: 30 years of innovation and solidarity

The 30th anniversary of the 1984 Cartagena Declaration offers the opportunity to consider the achievements of the Cartagena process and the specific characteristics that make it so remarkable.

FMR 49 General - Trafficking for human organs

Trafficking of people for their organs is an emerging transnational crime that has failed to receive sufficient international attention.

FMR 49 General - Sweet tea and cigarettes: a taste of refugee life in Jordan

Among refugees in Jordan, utter boredom – the result of restrictions on mobility, prohibitions on employment, and feelings of marginalisation – is an unmistakable source of anguish.

FMR 49 General - Refugee-state distrust on the Thai-Burma border

Distrust between refugees and their state of origin must be given due consideration in institutional approaches to repatriation of refugees, on the Thai-Burma border and in other refugee contexts worldwide.

FMR 49 General - Animals and forced migration

Harm to animals resulting from forced migration of people is intricately interwoven with and contingent upon the simultaneous suffering of humans.

Faith and displacement (Forced Migration Review 48)

FMR 48 - From the Editors

An introductory note on FMR 48, 'Faith and Responses to Displacement', from the Editors.

FMR 48 - Religious leaders unite to disarm hearts and minds

In the Central African Republic, where religion has been used as a tool to divide and manipulate the population, religious leaders have come together to promote tolerance and forgiveness as a basis for rebuilding peaceful cohabitation.

FMR 48 - Local faith actors and protection in complex and insecure environments

Faith leaders, faith-based organisations and local faith communities play a major role in the protection of people affected by conflict, disaster and displacement. Humanitarians, however, have only recently begun to fully appreciate their protection work.

FMR 48 - The value of accompaniment

Friendship and compassionate companionship with the most vulnerable provide a powerful type of humanitarian service giving priority to personal accompaniment.

FMR 48 - How local faith communities can aid asylum seekers

Local faith communities are able to offer assistance to asylum seekers in ways that faith-based organisations, constrained by eligibility criteria, are not.
