Understanding climate-mobility-related adaptation
CLIMA lunch seminar with Marianna Hu, European University Institute.
The seminar provides a critical review and analysis of the literature on the concept of ‘migration as adaptation’ with the aim of examining how adaptation is interpreted and conceptualized within this framing, identifying how mobility can contribute to climate adaptation under which conditions, and how it can undermine it. It then turns to the concluding phase of my research, where I examine the concept of climate-related adaptive mobility in the international climate regime and explore normative potentials.
