ABSTRACT

This paper offers a fresh perspective on the predominant narrative that links climate change to migration. We review how this narrative is being used to promote securitization policies and to limit migration avenues. We propose a reinterpretation of this connection by drawing on its current critique and acknowledging the alternative conclusions that emerge from local perceptions of climate change. We explore human development perspectives to demonstrate how context-specific power structures and the politics behind the causes of (non-)migration, inhibit the freedom of choice by individuals and households over possible migratory decisions under changing climate threats and dangers. To achieve the well-being and social justice necessary for individuals to cope with the conditions of (non-)climate change, we conclude that current development aspirations must shift focus from human capital to human capability.

摘要

本文为将气候变化与移民联系起来的主要叙述提供了一个全新的视角。我们回顾了这种说法是如何被用来促进证券化政策和限制移民途径的。我们通过借鉴其当前的批评并承认从当地对气候变化的看法中得出的替代结论，建议重新解释这种联系。我们探讨人类发展的观点，以展示特定背景的权力结构和（非）移民原因背后的政治如何抑制个人和家庭在不断变化的气候威胁和危险下对可能的移民决定的选择自由。为了实现个人应对（非）气候变化条件所必需的福祉和社会正义，人力资本对人的能力。
