This group explores how environmental change reshapes patterns of mobility, immobility, and displacement. The papers consider both structural drivers—such as housing tenure and disaster exposure—and the social meanings and moral economies that shape decisions to move or stay. Collectively, they advance a more nuanced understanding of climate migration beyond simple push-pull models.
