This edited volume explores the circumstances under which vulnerable communities can better
adapt to climate and environmental change and focuses in particular on the centrality of
migration as a resilience and adaptation strategy for communities at risk. The book features
important case studies where migration is being used as a risk management strategy in the
Pacific Sub-Sahara Africa Latin America and Europe. Its comparative analysis reveals common
patterns in enhancing local resilience through migration across diverse regional
socio-economic cultural and political contexts. This book is a contribution to the global
discussion about the future of migration policy especially as climate and environmental change
is expected to grow as one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
