“…The second theme highlighted the importance of the preservation of cultural and social ties for the health of mobile populations through preserving and revitalizing traditional solidarity measures [ 55 , 62 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 94 ]. Selected articles recommended strengthening governance or socio-ecological systems, favouring community-led approaches, and in doing so, recognizing the agency and inherent resilience of communities and to promote collaborative, adaptive migration governance structures.…”

“…These studies highlighted the need to focus on health equity in a range of settings including climate-vulnerable regions and sites of relocation and resettlement. This includes the need to integrate migrants into labour markets (see Theme 3) to support livelihoods and food security and to enable access to education [ 44 , 45 , 53 , 57 , 64 , 67 , 69 , 72 , 90 , 91 , 94 ].…”

Changing mobility patterns combined with changes in the climate present challenges and opportunities for global health, requiring effective, relevant, and humane policy responses. This study used data from a systematic literature review that examined the intersection between climate change, migration, and health. The study aimed to synthesize policy recommendations in the peer-reviewed literature, regarding this type of environmental migration with respect to health, to strengthen the evidence-base. Systematic searches were conducted in four academic databases (PubMed, Ovid Medline, Global Health and Scopus) and Google Scholar for empirical studies published between 1990–2020 that used any study design to investigate migration and health in the context of climate change. Studies underwent a two-stage protocol-based screening process and eligible studies were appraised for quality using a standardized mixed-methods tool. From the initial 2425 hits, 68 articles were appraised for quality and included in the synthesis. Among the policy recommendations, six themes were discernible: (1) avoid the universal promotion of migration as an adaptive response to climate risk; (2) preserve cultural and social ties of mobile populations; (3) enable the participation of migrants in decision-making in sites of relocation and resettlement; (4) strengthen health systems and reduce barriers for migrant access to health care; (5) support and promote optimization of social determinants of migrant health; (6) integrate health into loss and damage assessments related to climate change, and consider immobile and trapped populations. The results call for transformative policies that support the health and wellbeing of people engaging in or affected by mobility responses, including those whose migration decisions and experiences are influenced by climate change, and to establish and develop inclusive migrant healthcare.

“…After Morakot, many Indigenous communities in southern Taiwan were relocated to or resettled in new locations. Many scholars argued that these government policies were insensitive toward Indigenous cultures and historical vulnerabilities [29,[37][38][39][40]. Various Indigenous groups were relocated together; pre-existing villages to which Indigenous groups were resettled were not accustomed to Indigenous cultures; numerous households were ineligible for governmental housing; and resettled families were unable to continue their farming activities or sell their newly acquired homes [37,[41][42][43].…”

“…The Rukai and Paiwan peoples were the most studied with 29 (26.1%) and 28 (25.2%) articles, respectively. These Indigenous groups were most heavily affected by Morakot and government relocation policies [29,39], so it should therefore not come as a surprise that they were the most investigated. The third and fourth most studied groups were the Tayal (17 articles; 15.3%) and the Bunun (14 articles; 12.6%) respectively.…”

“…Typhoon Morakot, which struck central and southern Taiwan in August 2009, is perhaps most exemplary of the destructive effects of climate change on Indigenous and rural communities to date [27]. The typhoon killed 699 people, destroyed 1766 houses, and displaced 4500 residents [28,29]. After this national tragedy, numerous studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of climate change on Taiwan's Indigenous peoples, and relevant articles have been published through both domestic and international publishing outlets.…”

Global Climate Change and Indigenous Peoples in Taiwan: A Critical Bibliometric Analysis and Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, the subject of Indigenous peoples and global climate change adaptation has become a rapidly growing area of international study. Despite this trend, Taiwan, home to many Indigenous communities, has received relatively little attention. To date, no comprehensive review of the literature on Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples and global climate change has been conducted. Therefore, this article presents a bibliometric analysis and literature review of both domestic and international studies on Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples in relation to resilience, climate change, and climate shocks in the 10-year period after Typhoon Morakot (2009). We identified 111 domestic and international peer-reviewed articles and analyzed their presentation of the current state of knowledge, geographical and temporal characteristics, and Indigenous representation. Most studies were discovered to focus on post-disaster recovery, particularly within the context of Typhoon Morakot, as well as Indigenous cultures, ecological wisdom, and community development. This study also discovered relatively few studies investigating how traditional ecological knowledge systems can be integrated into climate change adaptation. Most studies also adopted a somewhat narrow focus on Indigenous resilience. Large-scale quantitative and longitudinal studies are found to be in their infancy. We observed a geographical skewness among the studies in favor of southern Taiwan and relatively limited engagement with contemporary studies on Indigenous peoples and climate change. We furthermore determined a large overlap between the destruction path of Morakot and study sites in the articles. Indigenous scholars have managed to find a voice among domestic and international outlets, and an increasing number of scholars have argued for more culturally sensitive approaches to post-disaster recovery and disaster management in Taiwan.
