PhD research on the diverse mobility responses to climate stressors in the coastal regions of Kerala between 2020-2022. This included examining the spectrum of responses from forced and voluntary migration to planned relocation, as well as voluntary and involuntary immobility. A key focus was on understanding the role of government in facilitating or hindering these (im)mobility responses.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While Kerala has become the most sought-after destination for migrant populations across India in search of a better life, the challenges faced by its own climate-displaced inhabitants remain overshadowed. Along Kerala's coastal belt, tales of dilapidated homes, submerged land, and displaced communities underscore the urgent need to highlight their struggles.

Studies show that 65% of Kerala's coastline is undergoing erosion, the second highest rate in the country after West Bengal's 70%. Cyclones like Ockhi and Tauktae have exacerbated this crisis, causing further retreat of sandy beaches. Ironically, efforts to combat this, like hardening the coastline, are likely to be counterproductive in the long run, simply shifting erosion to other unprotected coasts and prompting further hardening interventions.

Meanwhile, coastal dwellers grapple with the challenge of adapting to the rapidly evolving coastal landscape - a vital part of their cultural identity that they are reluctant to relinquish. As escalating climate change threatens their lives and livelihoods, it is crucial to amplify the voices of climate-displaced coastal communities and ensure that their immediate challenges as well as long-term needs are addressed through targeted policies and support programmes.
The story of proximal migration
Over the past four years, I have engaged with nearly 1,000 households from the coastal districts of southern Kerala - including Chellanam, Valiyathura, Purakkad, Ponnani, and Chavakkad - to understand how they are adapting to climate change.

Residents consistently express a deep attachment to the region and consider life in coastal areas to be the best, except for the threat of the encroaching sea. This is evident in their responses to extreme events: unless their house becomes uninhabitable, people prefer to go back, repair, rebuild and resettle. This cycle often continues for years before they start considering migration as a viable option. By then, they are financially exhausted and, in many cases, in debt.

Many coastal families have taken loans, both formal and informal, to upgrade their homes against harsh conditions. When damage occurred, they often spent between Rs 50,000 to 1 lakh to supplement government compensation. Yet, even these fortified houses often succumb to recurrent flooding and erosion, or extreme events like cyclones. People are then forced to depend on crowded relief camps, relatives or rented houses. Many families end up moving multiple times when they exhaust their favour with their relatives or deplete their savings by paying unaffordable rent. Although some families displaced by cyclones are eligible to receive government assistance with rent during the construction of housing projects, this support is often delayed or withheld due to administrative barriers. Many families remain trapped in such precarious conditions for years.

A common pattern among those who migrate into their own houses is proximal migration, where they move only a few hundred metres to escape the immediate threat of the waves. Most families do not move beyond the boundaries of their village. As a result, they confront similar predicaments years later.

This proximal migration trend is driven by attachment to their villages, financial constraints and the challenges of continuing their fishing livelihoods. For fishermen, who constitute the majority of the coastal population, there is a profound connection and pride in their work, making them reluctant to consider alternative employment inland or in other urban areas. The profitability of fishing plummets even one kilometre from the shoreline. Families involved in fishing across generations now face the difficult choice of giving up their livelihood and culture to move inland or stay and deal with the angry seas.
Interventions for the population
Kerala's Punergeham project provides Rs 10 lakh to households living within 50 metres from the high tide line to buy land and build a concrete house at least 200 metres away. While this is perhaps the only scheme in the country that proactively responds to the increasing vulnerability from climate change, the amount is often insufficient to cover land and construction costs which forced residents to incur additional debt. News of impending land purchases increase land values, further stacking the odds against the residents. The project had higher acceptance in Ambalappuzha and Ponnani, but misinformation hindered participation in places like Chellanam.

Relocation housing is provided for a limited number of coastal residents. However, often, the sociocultural and livelihood aspects are overlooked, leading to issues post-relocation. For instance, high-rise buildings recently provided for relocated households may be economically efficient but differ greatly from traditional housing, reducing their acceptability. Relocating fisherfolk to areas without access to harbours can lead to negative outcomes and increase financial vulnerability. Additional issues include lack of clean water, water logging, and inadequate drainage and waste management. These issues can drive people back to their origin areas, negating resettlement efforts.

Planned relocations must be sensitive towards traditional livelihoods and community ties as these factors contribute significantly to adaptive capacity and ease transition for affected populations. It is crucial to establish mechanisms for consistent government support post-relocation, including infrastructure development, livelihood opportunities and protection from further climate hazards such as urban flooding.

The government must cap land value surges near coastal areas to keep it affordable. Effective communication and public engagement through community forums can improve awareness and dispel misinformation about the relocation schemes. Policies should also safeguard projects from political disruptions.

Importantly, relocation should not be forced on those who wish to stay. Residents preferring to stay back want hard-engineered solutions like seawall and groynes for protection. While these protections seem reassuring on first glance, these are unsustainable in the long run.

Confidence in softer measures like geotubes remains low primarily due to poorly executed projects in areas like Poonthura and Chellanam. Geotubes are large fabric tubes, mostly made of polypropylene or polyester, are filled with sand or slurry, which can protect shorelines from erosion by absorbing the energy of incoming waves. The perception that hardened coasts are inherently safer should be challenged by promoting and implementing geotubes and beach nourishment, based on detailed coastal dynamics modelling.

Additionally, preserving coastal wetlands, which serve as vital buffers against wave activity is crucial. With rising sea levels, coastal wetlands typically migrate landward. Coastal development plans should incorporate setbacks, wherever possible, to accommodate this natural migration.

Successful interventions, like the restoration of Punnapra beach, by planting Casuarina groves, offers a potential solution for replication. While it may be a recognised anti-erosion strategy, concerns exist regarding its ecological impact. Casuarina, an exotic species, can disrupt native flora and fauna. To address this, native plants, like Ravan's Moustache ( Spinifex littoreus) and beach morning glory ( Ipomoea pescaprae), could be explored as ecologically-friendly alternatives.

Training residents in nature-based approaches can also empower communities to manage their own environments, ensuring greater acceptance and maintenance of these solutions.

The dual approach of relocation support and sustainable coastal protection must be balanced to address the needs of both migrating and non-migrating coastal populations. Global examples show that success comes with strong community participation and capacity building, robust planning, support for rootedness and increased social safety nets. Policies should prioritise intersectional and intergenerational justice and the sustainable well-being of coastal residents in addition to reducing their physical exposure to hazards.

Migration is a key adaptation strategy in the face of climate change in every part of the world. This project seeks to generate new knowledge on the evaluation of adaptations that involve migration, mobility and immobility and to promote evidence-based narratives on the role of migration in the challenge of adapting to climate risks.

The research involves gathering data on the effectiveness of interventions across Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal countries that either directly enable migration as adaptation or have mobility consequences. It explores well-being, adaptive capacity and precarity as critical objectives and criteria for successful migration as adaptation. The research focuses on populations facing planned relocation, immobile and left behind populations, and people in urban migration destinations across the three countries and spans mountain, coastal, dryland and urban social-ecological systems, selected to represent all major dimensions of the mobility spectrum.

The research co-creates a set of evidence on what interventions work and for whom and how they should be evaluated to facilitate inclusive migration that meets goals of climate-resilient development. The project contributes evidence-based best practice for the three major challenges of planned relocation; apparently immobile and left-behind populations; and migrant integration in urban destinations. The project seeks to strengthen the capacity of civil society actors to discuss and promote inclusive and equitable migration as adaptation that preserves rights and dignity of people on the move.

I am a human geographer focusing on social and development geography in the global south. In my work I focus on issues related to social inequalities, human-technology-relations, human-environment-relations, and social resilience in the context of globalisation. I am particularly interested in the diversifying patterns of mobilities and migration as well as digital transformations in the global south. My theoretical approach is, among others, inspired by Bourdieu's theory of practice, the new mobilities paradigm, as well as debates on translocality, transnationalism, and social resilience. In my point of view good geographical research should not only be theoretically profound but also empirically grounded. There is no good theory without proper and profound empirical research and vice versa.

I studied geography, development economics, and anthropology at the University of Bonn and focused in my PhD research on migration and translocal dimensions of social resilience in gendered migration systems. I very much appreciate working with Mixed-Methods and Multi-sited Ethnography and have worked for many years in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Singapore, and Germany. I think as researcher, we also have the essential task to follow a 3rd Mission, which is why not only interdisciplinary but also transdisciplinary research is very important to me. Hence, besides my passion for empirical research, I am very much involved #SciComm and have implemented several projects such as the photo project Work Men on the Move.

To avoid climate risk, a state may resettle an entire community to another location within the country. This is known as planned relocation (PR), a government-led strategy undertaken to guard against the impacts of climate change. PR in Europe remains largely framed as an ad hoc response in post-disaster settings. But this could change with the increased risks of natural disasters. The EU-funded ITHACA project will investigate how current PR and climate adaptation policy and governance landscapes should integrate PR into long-term resilient development in Europe.

Water and migration in East Africa.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Early Stage Researcher: Sinafekesh Girma Wolde
Host institution: Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Principal supervisor: Prof. Maria Cristina Rulli
Co-supervisor: Prof. Paolo D'Odorico
Non-academic co-supervisor: tbc

Estimations of expected environmental migrants by 2050 range from 25 million to 1 billion (UNU-EHS, 2015). The World Water Development Report 2016, highlights there is a "clear connection between water scarcity, food insecurity, social instability and potentially violent conflicts, which in turn can trigger and intensify migration patterns throughout the world". Although the knowledge on global environmental change, including climate change, as drivers of migration is increasing, there is a strong information gap in understanding how water resource availability influences migration. With the aim of identifying the role of water (i.e. hydrological extremes) in human migration and understanding possible future migration patterns in 5 countries of East Africa, this project will analyse and assess a) the main drivers of migration through meta-analysis/systematic review; b) water scarcity at fine temporal and spatial scale in current and future scenario; c) evolution of migration patterns associated to projected changes of water scarcity.

This research project will:

1. Identify the main drivers of migration that underlie the migration behaviour in Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda through conducting a meta-analysis/systematic review of migration studies;

2. Assess and compare the level of water scarcity within the mentioned countries by using a set of carefully selected hydrological indicators;

3. Compare the evolution of migration behaviour with the evolution of water scarcity to identify possible interrelations and potential impacts of specific hydrological events on migration;

4. Develop an analytical framework to classify the drivers of migration identified in (1) according to their relation to water scarcity, including a categorization into direct and indirect relations;

5. Draw conclusions on future scenarios of changing migration patterns based on projected changes in the level of water scarcity.

Expected results:

1. Identification of drivers of migration-related to water scarcity (both directly and indirectly) in East Africa;

2. Assessment of the impact of specific hydrological events on migration that provides knowledge on the response time of migration to changes in the level of water scarcity;

3. Knowledge of future migration patterns based on the projected evolution of water scarcity levels in the mentioned countries.

Robert Oakes
Migration
Loss and Damage
Decision making

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dr. Robert Oakes works in the Environment and Migration: Interactions and Choices (EMIC) Division. He researches the reasons for, and outcomes of mobility including evacuation, displacement, voluntary migration, planned relocation in addition to those who are unwilling, or unable to move.

In so doing, he hopes to contribute to understanding in which circumstances mobility should be considered a form of adaptation, and when it represents loss and damage.

Much of his research has considered how place attachment and subjectivity interact with more structural factors to influence decisions to move. He has specific interests in health and the way in which children are affected by climate mobility. He is adept at qualitative and quantitative research tools with expertise in Q method and agent-based models.

Robert has worked on major climate migration projects, such as Pacific Climate Change and Migration (PCCM) project with UNESCAP, UNDP and ILO, and the Migration, Environment and Climate Change: Evidence for Policy (MECLEP) project with IOM. He has consulted for Wetlands International, UNICEF, IOM, GIZ and Germanwatch.

He connects his work to policy and he is a regular contributor to UNFCCC processes and the Platform on Disaster Displacement and is involved in the CliMigHealth network, Climate Resilience Initiative and City Responses to Climate Risks Initiative.

Robert currently manages the institute's contribution to the EU funded projects LOCOMOTION and RethinkAction where his role is concerned with humanizing models which seek to understand transition pathways.

He undertook his PhD at the University of Sussex where he investigated evacuation decision-making in the contexts of hurricanes and lectured on sustainable development and environmental risk. At UNU-EHS he lectures on environmental migration and how it relates to health, and has recently worked with the EMIC and PACET team to develop an e-learning resource on human mobility in the context of climate change.

Carolien Jacobs is Assistant Professor at the Van Vollenhoven Institute. She has a background in International Development (MSc, Wageningen University) and in Legal Anthropology (PhD Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology/Wageningen University). She is interested in interdisciplinary research. Her research interests are in the fields of law, governance and international development, especially in Africa and in conflict-affected countries.

Carolien acquired most of her research experience in Africa, where she has worked on land rights; access to justice; the role of religion in disputing; development aid and civil society development; and on secure livelihoods.

Since 2014 Carolien's research has a focus on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and ways in which they get access to justice and claim their rights . Most of this research takes place in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, together with a team of Congolese researchers, but she has also studied climate-related displacement in Mozambique in the aftermath of cyclone Idai .

At present, Carolien is involved in the Horizon2o20-funded research project TRAFIG ; Transnational Figurations of Displacement. This project investigates protracted displacement situations at multiple sites in Asia, Africa and Europe and analyses options to improve displaced people's lives. TRAFIG looks at how transnational and local networks as well as mobility are used as resources by displaced people to manage their everyday lives. Carolien coordinates the empirical workpackage on Africa and is involved in the field work in the DRC.

Carolien's research is part of the research programme Effective Protection of Fundamental Rights in a Pluralist World.

Carolien teaches various courses in the field of Law and Society, often with a focus on Africa, or on research methodology. She also supervises theses and PhD research.

Out of sight, out of mind - How research can help make vulnerable population visible

Principal investigator: Marion Borderon ( IfGR, University of Vienna)

Research collaborators: Dr. Yoann Doignon (Geographer/Demographer, UCL, Belgium), Dr. Laurence Reboul (Statistician, AMU, France), Dr. Nega Assefa (Heath practitioner and researcher, Haramaya University, Ethiopia)

In the context of the project, a new Agreement on Academic Collaboration between Haramaya University in Eastern Ethiopia and University of Vienna has been signed. It seeks to build up a new research focus on the nexus of migration and environmental change between the two institutions.

Duration: 2017 - 2022

Funding: Postdoc Award 2017 (since february 2019, the case study of Kersa is also part of a H2020 project: AGRUMIG - 'Leaving Something Behind': Migration governance and agrarian change in 'home' communities - Experiences from Europe, Asia and Africa')

Background

Data on internal migration remains particularly patchy which in turns limits ability of assessing trends of migration. Contextual information has been lacking on the significance of rural out-migration in LMICs. Therefore, the question "w hat is happening in rural communities as a result of out-migration?" becomes second behind "How could we know what is happening in deprived rural areas?".

Investigating the nexus between migration and climate change in rural settings in Ethiopia, we have taken the opportunity to use HDSS data, a high-potential data source. By tracking population changes -fertility, mortality, migration - the HDSSs (health and demographic surveillance systems) are filling a gap in developing databases which can provide a critical resource for migration researchers and be investigated to examine the practices and patterns of migration over place and time in rural areas particularly vulnerable to climatic change.

Established in 2007 in Kersa, district of eastern Hararege, Oromia region, Eastern Ethiopia, the Kersa Demographic Surveillance and Health Research Center ( KDS-HRC) has been carrying out a longitudinal population-based tracking of about 148 000 individuals.

Our study seeks to understand what are the motivations and demographic or climatic events pushing people to move out. The KDS-HRC data are thus perfectly of interest to cross and combine biographic data at the individual and household levels (demographic attributes of the investigated individuals who stay/who go) with climatic and environmental data to unravel the logic of the migration decision and shed light on the pushing factors of outmigration in the studied area.

Biography

I have a background in Environmental Sciences and Global Development Studies from the University of Virginia, USA, where I first began studying rural-urban migration, natural disasters, and environmental change in Mongolia. I returned there for my Master's thesis research for an MA in Human Rights and Cultural Diversity from the University of Essex, UK, which I attended as a Fulbright Scholar. I worked in rural Morocco for two years as a US Peace Corps Volunteer.

For my PhD research, also based at the Research Platform Mobile Cultures and Societies, I will use a translocal framework to analyze how social remittances - the intangible transfers of knowledge, skills, or ideas between migrants and their families - affect the environment in a translocally embedded community that is both an origin and destination of migrants. The ethnographic research will take place in Morocco using a mixed methods approach, including interviews, household surveys, and participatory approaches, both with town residents in a rural area and with translocal connections in the surrounding region.

Research interests

Thematic: migration and climate change, entangled im/mobilities, human rights and environment

Biographie

I am a human geographer focusing on social and development geography in the global south. In my work I focus on issues related to social inequalities, human-technology-relations, human-environment-relations, and social resilience in the context of globalisation. I am particularly interested in the diversifying patterns of mobilities and migration as well as digital transformations in the global south. My theoretical approach is, among others, inspired by Bourdieu's theory of practice, the new mobilities paradigm, as well as debates on translocality, transnationalism, and social resilience. In my point of view good geographical research should not only be theoretically profound but also empirically grounded. There is no good theory without proper and profound empirical research and vice versa.

I studied geography, development economics, and anthropology at the University of Bonn and focused in my PhD research on migration and translocal dimensions of social resilience in gendered migration systems. I very much appreciate working with Mixed-Methods and Multi-sited Ethnography and have worked for many years in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Singapore, and Germany. I think as researcher, we also have the essential task to follow a 3rd Mission, which is why not only interdisciplinary but also transdisciplinary research is very important to me. Hence, besides my passion for empirical research, I am very much involved #SciComm and have implemented several projects such as the photo project Work Men on the Move.

Research interests

Conceptual: Transnationalism and translocality; social theories of practice; vulnerability and social resilience; entitlement approaches; transient urbanism

Thematic: social-geographic inequalities; rural-urban geographies; social adaptation to climate change; migration & mobilities; digital transformations in the global south

Methodological: Mixed-methods (MMR); qualitative social research; multi-sited ethnography; participatory research; visual methods

Regional: South- and South-East Asia (Bangladesh, Thailand, Singapore); Horn of Africa (Ethiopia)

Biographie

Ich bin Humangeograph mit Schwerpunkt auf Sozial- und Entwicklungsgeographie im globalen Süden. In meiner Arbeit beschäftige ich mich mit Fragen von sozialen Ungleichheiten, Mensch-Technik-Beziehungen, Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehungen und sozialer Resilienz im Kontext der Globalisierung. Mein besonderes Interesse gilt den sich wandelnden Mobilitäts- und Migrationsmustern sowie den digitalen Transformationsprozessen im globalen Süden. Mein theoretischer Zugang zu diesen Themen ist unter anderem inspiriert von Bourdieus Theorie der Praxis, dem New Mobilities Paradigm, sowie den Debatten über Translokalität, Transnationalismus und sozialer Resilienz. Gute geografische Forschung sollte meiner Überzeugung nach aber nicht nur theoretisch, sondern auch empirisch fundiert sein. Es gibt keine gute Theorie ohne fundierte Empirie und umgekehrt.

Ich habe Geographie, Entwicklungsökonomie und Ethnologie an der Universität Bonn studiert und mich in meiner Doktorarbeit mit transnationaler Migration und translokalen Dimensionen von sozialer Resilienz in geschlechtsspezifischen Migrationssystemen befasst. Methodologisch schätze besonders die Arbeit mit Mixed-Methods und Multi-sited Ethnography und habe viele Jahre in Äthiopien, Bangladesch, Thailand, Singapur und Deutschland geforscht. Ich denke, dass wir als Forscher*innen aber auch die wichtige Aufgabe haben, unsere Arbeit in die Gesellschaft einzubringen und der 3rd Mission der Wissenschaft zu folgen. Aus diesem Grund ist mir nicht nur die interdisziplinäre, sondern auch transdisziplinäre Forschung sehr wichtig. Neben meiner Leidenschaft für empirische Forschung beschäftige ich mich auch intensiv mit Wissenschaftskommunikation und habe bereits mehrere #SciComm-Projekte wie z.B. das Fotoprojekt Work Men on the Move umgesetzt.

Forschungsinteressen

Konzeptionell: Transnationalismus und Translokalität; Sozialtheorien der Praxis; Verwundbarkeit und soziale Resilienz; Verfügungsrechtliche Ansätze; transient urbanism

Thematisch: sozial-geographische Disparitäten; ländlich-urbane Geographien; soziale Anpassung an den Klimawandel; Migration & Mobilität, digitale Transformationen im globalen Süden

Methodisch: Mixed-Methods (MMR); qualitative Sozialforschung; Multi-Site-Ethnographie; partizipative Forschung; visuelle Methoden

Regional: Süd- und Südostasien (Bangladesch, Thailand, Singapur); Horn von Afrika (Äthiopien)
