“…8 Basu and Chau (2003) provide cross-country evidence on child labour in debt bondage, but do not place their analysis in a migration or trafficking context. 9 The following stylized facts are based on Bauer and Zimmermann (1999), Kraler and Iglicka (2002), Mansoor and Quillin (2006) and Görlich and Trebesch (2008). 10 Piper (2005) highlights that there is a particular need for data and empirical research on non-sexual forms of trafficking.…”

“…The World Bank and UN agencies such as the International Organization for Migration and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights have been continuously acknowledging the possibility of climate induced displacements (International Organization for Migration, 2023b). Similarly EU research services, especially for the EP, have produced documents addressing the topic in this period, albeit they did not represent the official view of the EU as an institution (Apap & du Perron de Revel, 2021;Noonan & Rusu, 2022;Kraler, et al, 2020). In terms of EU involvement, the papers implied the EU should have a crucial role for it could prevent conflicts and migration waves [to its own shores/borders].…”

Addressing Environmental Migration in the European Union Discourse

For decades, the European Union (EU) has been addressing issues related to climate change and ecological degradation as a self-proclaimed pro-environmental and human rights-oriented actor. Correspondingly, the topic of environmentally driven migration entered the EU discourse at the dawn of the new millennium. As such, environmental migrants around the world find themselves in an existential crisis and are in need of support whether it comes to questions of compensations, relocation, protection of cultural heritage etc. Thus, considering the EU’s interest in the human rights and environmental/climate issue areas, I argue it is important to ask what the Union’s approach to this matter has been. Consequently, this article assesses the European Union discourse related to the topic of environmental migration over a twenty-year period. Through the theoretical lens of the Copenhagen School of Security Studies and the normative power EU conception, this paper critically analyzes the EU’s securitization of climate change in relation to environmental migrants who are experiencing an existential threat to their lives. Based on a qualitative discourse analysis, the preliminary results imply that the topic has been receding into the background of the EU agenda. In line, environmental migrants have been pushed aside by a multiplicity of other subjects threatened by climate change, and their problems were thus not reflected in either the EU climate change or migration management policies. Overall, the findings show a shift from an alarmist discourse to pragmatism on the EU’s behalf. Thereupon, this article questions the normative standard the EU sets for itself when it comes to the case of environmental migrant protection.

“…While the GCM and GCR may improve cooperation on cross-border climate-related displacement (Martin et al, 2018a;Kälin, 2018), translating their non-binding global norms into practices on the ground has hinged on scarce political will and funding, resulting in uneven implementation and limited efforts to facilitate safe mobility in particular (Yildiz, 2022;Mokhnacheva, 2022;Braun, 2023). Climate-related provide an entry point for protecting disaster-displaced persons and some member states indeed have applied this expanded definition in environmental cases, see Kraler et al 2020;Braun 2023. displacement has figured in the follow-up mechanisms of the Compacts, but since these are built on voluntary reviews and pledges rather than binding, sanctionable commitments, the likelihood that states will take the kind of transformational action required for the issue is low. A different soft law initiative that has spurred important developments on cross-border displacement is the 2015 Nansen Protection Agenda (Ferris and Bergmann, 2017).…”

“…Regional and subregional processes have yielded key, binding advances that could help improve the protection of climate-related IDPs, but their effectiveness hinges on implementation capacities (Kraler, Katsiaficas and Wagner, 2020). The Guiding Principles have inspired states to develop the 2006 International Conference on the Great Lakes Region Protocol on the Protection and Assistance to IDPs, which explicitly references disaster displacement.…”

This paper shows that climate-related forced displacement is insufficiently addressed in two fundamental commitments made towards the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) between 2015 and 2023: National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It describes the important role NAPs and NDCs play in prioritising the tackling of certain aspects of climate change adaptation, identifies gaps on forced displacement, and proposes ways of adding it among their policy objectives, and of mobilising finance to reach them. Ce papier démontre que les déplacements forcés liés au climat ne sont pas suffisamment pris en compte dans deux engagements fondamentaux pris dans le cadre de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC) entre les années 2015 et 2023 : les plans nationaux d'adaptation (PNA) et les contributions déterminées au niveau national (CDN). Il décrit le rôle important que jouent les PNA et les CDN dans la détermination des priorités de l'adaptation au changement climatique, identifie leurs lacunes en matière de déplacements forcés et propose des moyens de mieux les prendre en compte et de mobiliser les fonds nécessaires.
