“…While such black-and-white depictions tend to speak to the preferences of research funders, advocacy NGOs and governance institutions , the historical experience with the concept of 'climate refugees' has shown how such discourse can easily be turned from a call for awareness into a securitised narrative (see Bettini, 2013;Durand-Delacre et al, 2021;Methmann & Oels, 2015). This can hinder the conceptual and practical advancement of current debates in this field, such as resettlement and planned relocation due diminished habitability in the context of climate change (Farbotko et al, 2020;Gemenne, Zickgraf, Leigh & Castillo Betancourt, 2021;Horton, de Sherbinin, Wrathall & Oppenheimer, 2021), as well as climate and mobility justice (Bettini et al, 2017;Farbotko et al, 2022;Klepp & Herbeck, 2016;Sheller, 2018b). Based on the insights from this thesis and the development of the research field over the past years, I would argue that for more holistic insights into the climate-change migration nexus, attention to the injustices of climate change and climate mobility regimes should be actively combined with grounded and nuanced research that brings local perspectives into the conversation.…”
