This paper joins the growing scholarly concern for the sharpening of social and environmental inequalities in European cities, particularly those generated in Eastern Europe by evictions of poor Roma from inner-city areas and by the invisibilization of their extreme conditions. We argue that these processes – evictions and invisibilizations – create a heightened vulnerability to climate change impacts for these individuals. The paper uses secondary survey data on compact Roma groups in Romania and analyses qualitative and cartographic information collected by the authors (2019) in two mid-sized cities in Romania to flesh out the particular slum ecologies that emerge following evictions. The focus is also on the subtle processes of invisibilization that render displaced Roma vulnerable and rob them of the “right to the city” in terms of climate change adaptation. Our finding is that evicted Roma experience innumerable, “routine” weather-related impacts, such as floods, storms or cold. By exploring Roma's heightened exposure, sensitivity and reduced adaptive capacity, we show how these impacts increase their vulnerability to future extreme weather events. These findings are indicative of a broader process of fragmentation taking place in urban areas throughout Eastern Europe, which render invisible some very real barriers to climate change adaptation.

本文与学术界越来越关注的是，欧洲城市的社会和环境不平等现象加剧，尤其是东欧城市中因贫困的罗姆人被驱逐以及城市极端条件的不透明化而加剧的社会和环境不平等现象。我们认为，这些过程-驱逐和不透明化-使这些人更容易受到气候变化影响的影响。本文使用了罗马尼亚紧凑型罗姆人群体的二次调查数据，并分析了作者（2019年）在罗马尼亚两个中型城市中收集的定性和制图信息，以充实驱逐后出现的特殊贫民区生态。焦点还集中在微妙的不透明化过程上，这些过程使流离失所的罗姆人变得脆弱，并在适应气候变化方面夺走了他们的“城市权”。我们的发现是，被驱逐的罗姆人遭受无数次与天气有关的“例行”影响，例如洪水，暴风雨或寒冷。通过探究罗姆人不断增加的暴露，敏感性和降低的适应能力，我们展示了这些影响如何增加其对未来极端天气事件的脆弱性。这些发现表明整个东欧城市地区正在发生更广泛的分裂过程，这为适应气候变化提供了一些非常现实的障碍。暴露度的提高，灵敏度的提高和适应能力的降低，我们将展示这些影响如何增加其对未来极端天气事件的脆弱性。这些发现表明整个东欧城市地区正在发生更广泛的分裂过程，这为适应气候变化提供了一些非常实际的障碍。暴露度的提高，灵敏度的提高和适应能力的降低，我们将展示这些影响如何增加其对未来极端天气事件的脆弱性。这些发现表明整个东欧城市地区正在发生更广泛的分裂过程，这为适应气候变化提供了一些非常现实的障碍。
