Session Submission Summary

Environmentally Induced Migration in Mexico/ Migración inducida Ambientalmente en México

Sun, May 29, 12:45 to 2:15pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

As knowledge of climate change (CC) and global environmental change (GEC) has deepened, Mexico has been classified as one of the main countries exposed to the impacts of CC and GEC. It is a region historically characterized by diverse types of migration (internal, international and return migration; permanent, semi-permanent, pendular and itinerant). Thus, after making a theoretical national and international revision of migration, a pioneer multidisciplinary research project was conducted triangulating quantitative and qualitative methodologies in the central area of Mexico looking at environmentally induced migration (EIM). It takes three overarching axes: systemic theory, social representations theory and gender analysis. This panel seeks to present its main research results.
