“…Yet, despite the growing recognition in national policies that migration can serve adaptation (IOM, 2018a), movement has yet to be widely supported as an adaptive strategy, whether within or across borders. Few countries have migration policies that facilitate the movement of people for climate‐related reasons (Cantor, 2021; Dempster & Ober, 2020; Francis, 2019; McAdam & Pryke, 2020), and national adaptation and disaster risk reduction policies often do not view migration positively or plan for it proactively (Sward & Codjoe, 2012; World Bank, Yonetani, 2018).…”

As climate migration has garnered the interest of research and policy communities over the last two decades, the focus has been on whether, how and where climate stresses might precipitate out‐migration, and how to assist and protect those affected. Less attention has gone to the places that receive climate migrants, and how their arrival might affect adaptation at destination. Against the backdrop of increasingly severe climate disruptions, this paper examines the likelihood of climate‐related movements going into urban areas, and the challenges that this may entail for those who move and for urban governance. With much of climate migration projected to feed into existing urbanization trends, we see the need for data and research to help bolster the agency of communities and cities to plan and act locally, and across geographies, for inclusion and resilience, and to advocate collectively for enabling policy frameworks and increased national and international support.
