    Governing climate displacement: the ethics and politics of human resettlement
    in Environmental Politics , Volume 21, Issue 2, March ,  2012 ,  308-328
    Projected impacts of climate change raise difficult ethical questions about the responsibility of national governments and international institutions to protect human populations displaced by climate disasters and long-term environmental change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects that climate change will entail large-scale displacement of populations exposed to the disruption of food supplies, health systems, human settlements and livelihoods. The ethics of supporting policies that expose very poor people to the risk of climate-induced disasters, and the politics of developing policies that would reduce the risk of this kind of suffering, are explored. Drawing upon the capabilities approach of Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen, the ethics and politics of promoting human resettlement as a means of mitigating the risk of climate disasters in low-income areas of the developing world are considered.
