“…In practice in the field, implementation of the resettlement policy takes a long time, and in that long span of time the government and related parties assume responsibility for meeting the necessary needs of victims of natural disasters. Jamie Draper and Catriona Mckinnon [6] stated that in implementing the resettlement policy, there are two important stages that need to be considered, namely the decision-making stage and the implementation stage. At this stage of decision making regarding resettlement policies, things that need to be considered are community participation, social aspects, economic aspects, legal aspects, and cultural aspects.…”

“…By cooperating with several parties such as mass organizations and the TNI, the South Lampung Regional Government has prepared 537 shelters. [5] With regard to this resettlement policy, Jamie Draper and Catriona Mckinnon [6] stated that in carrying out the resettlement policy, there are at least two stages that must be considered, namely the decision-making stage and the implementation stage. At the decision-making stage, the participation of the parties who will be affected by the policy is a core element that ethically must be realized.…”

Resettlement in the context of disaster management is a policy that has a broad impact on the affected community on legal, social and economic aspects. This article focuses on problems in implementing the resettlement policy for victims of the tsunami in South Lampung which occurred in December 2018. By using the socio-legal approach, the results of the study indicate that the resettlement policy for communities affected by the tsunami in South Lampung was carried out based on the Regent Decree No. B/613.1/VI.02/HK/2019. This policy was carried out as an effort to recover from the tsunami that occurred. In its implementation, this policy has an impact on at least three aspects of the life of the community concerned, namely the legal impact, social impact and economic impact both before, during the process, and after the construction of new housing. With regard to the legal impact, this resettlement causes legal relationships and issues regarding the rights and obligations of the victim to the building and land where he lives in the resettlement area as well as the rights and obligations of the victim to the land and building in his former place. On the social and economic impacts, problems arise with regard to access to education, employment, and the adjustment of conditions to the new environment in which they live. Therefore, resettlement cannot only be seen as a policy of rebuilding housing in a new place, but resettlement must also be seen as a holistic policy that focuses on rebuilding the livelihoods of the people involved in it, which in this context is a solution to the consequences, which occurs in both the legal, social, and economic aspects of resettlement

“…Migration and displacement due to climate change are projected to increase over the coming decades, with resettlement programmes across multiple continents where populations face high climate risks, such as the Maldives, Marshall Islands, Kiribati and Tuvalu (Wyman, 2017; Draper and McKinnon, 2018). We have an ethical obligation to help climate migrants; however, much of the current debate focuses on whether developed nations should accept these stateless climate migrants, and, if so, how many (Eckenwiler, 2018).…”

Climate change has impacted the world as we know it and will continue to do so unless radical steps are taken. These steps involve complex ethical decisions that will need to be made by leaders worldwide. This systematic literature review on the ethics of climate change from 1992 to 2020 reveals three key areas of research: the ethics of who bears the cost of climate change, market solutions, and geoengineering and non‐market solutions. Emerging research areas relate to the ethics of population, displacement and resettlement, and leadership. This paper reveals an intrinsic relationship between ethics and climate change that extends beyond a purely economic and emissions‐based perspective. An ethical perspective must be utilised to ensure that any amelioration efforts are equitable and consider those at the margins, including those in developing nations.

“…Development-driven relocation literature has brought forward the importance of participatory processes grounded in the agency of affected communities (Draper and McKinnon 2018 ). Just climate adaptation aligns with this literature as it requires the involvement of stakeholders in decision-making, especially when they are socially vulnerable (Malloy and Ashcraft 2020 ).…”

The role of international organizations in equitable and just planned relocation

Since 2010, States party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have recognized planned relocation as a viable adaptation to climate change. Planned relocation has been attempted in many communities globally and has raised serious issues of equity in some cases. Implementation driven by principles of equity is crucial in ensuring successful planned relocations that decrease loss and damage. In this Policy Analysis, we put forth a framework for equitable planned relocation rooted in theories of justice as a basis for implementation. The framework centers around three principles: comprehensive recognition of affected stakeholders in decision-making, consideration of socio-cultural risk factors relevant to relocation, and evaluation of multiple measures of well-being. There are many actors involved in planned relocation. Unique features and abilities of international organizations lend themselves to promoting equitable planned relocation in partnership with other stakeholders. Through the exploration of case studies, we identify best practices that international organizations have available to influence the design, implementation, and evaluation of planned relocation processes. These practices are relevant when striving for equity for all affected individuals and communities. Points of intervention include agenda-setting and advocacy, funding and implementation standards, and facilitation of international cooperation. International organizations also face barriers to supporting equitable planned relocation. Limitations include lack of enforcement mechanisms, limited resources, and fundamental dependence on existing governance structures and global collaboration. As the necessity of planned relocations grows, the need for leadership from international organizations in implementation is magnified, underscoring the importance of developing and evaluating approaches to just implementation.
