Climate Change Solutions and Environmental Migration

<p>This book lifts the taboo on maladaptation a different driver of environmentally induced migration which shines a light on the negative consequences arising from the solutions to climate change adaptation and mitigation policies.</p><p>Through a systematic analysis and critique of existing mitigation and adaptation polices under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and international development community and supplemented by a small empirical study in Indonesia this book catalogues how maladaptation is manufactured under existing climate change solutions. It posits that customary communities in general- and women in particular- are disproportionately affected by the dominant market-driven logics that underscore current climate change solutions adopted by the UNFCCC. The injustice of maladaptation is highlighted as multi-faceted and explored using political economic social and ecological lenses and the concept of environmental reintegration is also explored as a possible solution to this issue. Further possibilities are then presented in the <i>Afterword</i> as a combination of what the new (post-neoliberalism) conjuncture could potentially look like. </p><p>This volume will be of great interest to students scholars and practitioners of climate change environmental policy environmental migration and displacement development studies I/NGOs and civil society actors and activists more broadly.</p>
