4.9/5 (30908 ratings)

Description:This book is one of the outputs of the conference on Environmental Change, Forced Migration, and Social Vulnerability (EFMSV) held in Bonn in October 2008. Migration is one of the oldest adaptation measures of humanity. Indeed, without migration the multitude of civilizations and interactions between them peaceful and otherwise would be hard to imagine. The United Nations (UN)-led global dialogue on migration is a clear sign that governments and the specialized UN agencies and bodies have recognized the need to view, govern, manage, and facilitate migration; to mitigate its negative effects; and to capitalize on the positive ones. It is a common expectation among experts that environmentally induced migration will further increase in the decades to come. Hence, next to the political, economic, ethnic, social, financial, humanitarian, and security aspects of migration, the environmental component should urgently be considered in the ongoing international dialogue on migration. This need is also a challenge. Without appropriate scientific knowledge, assessment, definitions, and classifications, the intergovernmental frameworks would not be able to deal with these complex phenomena. The Five-Pronged-Approach as formulated by the United Nations University (UNU) may serve as a framework to identify the additional dimensions of this challenge next to and actually simultaneously with the scientific one.Contents: Environmentally induced displacement and the 1951 Refugee Convention : pathways to recognition / Bruce Burson --Institutional barriers to the recognition and assistance of environmentally forced migrants / Chloe Anne Vlassopoulos --What's in a name : social vulnerabilities and the refugee controversy in the wake of hurricane Katrina / François Gemenne --Forced migration from sub-Saharan Africa : the conflict-environment link / Wim Naude --Solastalgia : environmentally induced distress and migration among Africa's poor due to climate change / Petra Tschakert and Raymond Tutu --Climate and migration : a synthesis / Etienne Piguet --Forced migration of Alaskan indigenous communities due to climate change / Robin Bronen --'Buscando la vida' : how do perceptions of increasingly dry weather affect migratory behaviour in Zacatecas, Mexico? / Kerstin Schmidt-Verkerk --Environmental migration from rainfed regions in India forced by poor returns from watershed development projects / Kaushalya Ramachandran and Padmaja Susarla --Migration to contaminated sites : migrants' settlements in Central and Eastern Europe built-in places with high environmental and social vulnerability / Richard Filčák --Migration and natural hazards : is relocation a secondary disaster or an opportunity for vulnerability reduction? / Nishara Fernando, Koko Warner and Jörn Birkmann --Guatemala : a review of historic and recent relocation processes provoked by disasters of natural origin / Yojana Miner Fuentes and Juan Carlos Villagrán de León --Environmental factors in Mexican migration : the cases of Chiapas and Tlaxcala / Stefan Alscher --Case study Senegal : environmental degradation and forced migration / Frauke Bleibaum --The environmental root causes triggering economic migration : the case of Egypt / Tamer Afifi --A country made for disasters : environmental vulnerability and forced migration in Bangladesh / Alice Poncelet [and others] --In the land of ostriches : developmentalism, environmental degradation, and forced migration in Turkey / Zeynep Kadirbeyoglu --Environmental migration : case of Kyrgyzstan / Emil Nasritdinov [and others] --Linking the earth's future to migration : scenarios of environmental change and possible impacts on forced migration / Johannes Frühmann and Jill Jäger.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
