Migration is one of the variety of ways by which human populations adapt to environmental changes. The study of migration in the context of anthropogenic climate change is often approached using the concept of vulnerability and its key functional elements: exposure, system sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. This article explores the interaction of climate change and vulnerability through review of case studies of dry‐season migration in the West African Sahel, hurricane‐related population displacements in the Caribbean basin, winter migration of ‘snowbirds’ to the US Sun‐belt, and 1930s drought migration on the North American Great Plains. These examples are then used as analogues for identifying general causal, temporal, and spatial dimensions of climate migration, along with potential considerations for policy‐making and future research needs.

脆弱性和适应气候变化背景下的移民:来自类似物的见解。

迁徙是人类适应环境变化的多种方式之一。人为气候变化背景下的移民研究通常使用脆弱性的概念及其关键功能要素:暴露、系统敏感性和适应能力。本文通过回顾西非萨赫勒地区旱季迁徙、加勒比海盆地与飓风相关的人口迁移、“雪鸟”冬季迁徙到美国太阳带的案例研究,探讨气候变化与脆弱性的相互作用,以及1930 年代北美大平原的干旱迁徙。然后将这些示例用作类似物,以确定气候迁移的一般因果、时间和空间维度,以及决策和未来研究需求的潜在考虑因素。
