Les migrants des politiques climatiques : nouveaux défis face aux déplacements générés par le changement climatique | ||
in Cultures & Conflits , n. 88, Migrations climatiques, hiver , 2012 , 85-110 | ||
The discourse on climate migration is dominated by concerns about impacts of climate change on migration dynamics and displacement, i.e. that people have to leave their places of origin due to adverse climate and living conditions. From a migration research perspective this conceptualization of climate migration already shows some flaws. Moreover, it ignores the climate change policies can equally produce migration and displacement. The article elaborates on the repercussion of climate change related relocation policies and makes suggestions how a micro perspective and human rights frame could strengthen local populations vis-à-vis the climate regime and this new type of ‘climate threat’. | ||
