This short piece introduces CliMig, an open access and continuously updated bibliographic database which indexes scientific (peer-reviewed) publications addressing environmental migration and climate-related mobility. Each of the 2000+ references are indexed according to a uniform set of keywords, allowing users to conduct targeted research easily and efficiently. CliMig is a highly valuable research tool and database for researchers and students studying internal displacement and other forms of human mobility in the context of climate change.

This short piece challenges policymakers to develop a broad suite of policy responses to safeguard the rights of those moving or displaced in the context of climate change and disasters. Drawing upon human rights principles and highlighting innovative practices of Pacific nations, the author shows how those most affected by climate change can be active participants in the search for durable solutions.

Tens of thousands of women and children in the UK are displaced due to the human rights violation of violence against women, but they are not recognised or responded to as IDPs. Their individual and hidden journeys to escape violence cause support needs, and a loss of rights, but state and service responses are often inadequate. What does that say about women’s citizenship in countries of the Global North? And would using the lens of internal displacement focus minds and actions on more just, effective, and rights-based responses?

This timely and insightful assessment of ’planned relocations’ flags critical knowledge, normative and governance gaps in both research and practice. With climate-related planned relocations already widespread and set to increase, this short piece aims to catalyse greater dialogue around the research agenda for planned relocation - priority topics as well as methodological considerations on how future research is conducted.

This paper highlights Bangladesh’s National Strategy on Internal Displacement Management, a rights-based approach to climate and disaster related displacement. It includes key elements of important international frameworks addressing displacement along with the Principles for Locally Led Adaptation. The policy, if successfully implemented, would integrate human mobility into Bangladesh’s climate change policy architecture and could serve as a model for other climate-vulnerable nations.

Iraq is a country with an evolving humanitarian landscape that some say is being pulled in two different directions; on one hand looking at the future with hope, on the other hand, there are still millions of IDPs who are vulnerable to poverty. This paper explores the role of participation in durable solutions for the internally displaced persons in Iraq whilst reflecting on specific vulnerabilities and how they impact the access to participation and the outcome.

This paper argues that voluntary immobility can be an important expression of human agency often overlooked in research and mobility planning. Resistance to climate mobility must be understood and taken seriously if equitable mobility solutions are to be found.

Academia has focused on risks of statelessness for Syrian refugee families. But what about children who are born to the millions of displaced parents who have not crossed an international border into another country? This paper consequently considers the factors that may put internally displaced Syrian children at heightened risk of statelessness.
