ESF-ZIF-Bielefeld University Research Conference

ABOUT : Tracing Social Inequalities in Environmentally-Induced Migration

Session 6: Observations on social inequality from EXCLIM: “Exils Climatiques: Gérer les déplacements des populations dues aux phénomènes climatiques extrêmes”

Environmental degradation and climate change have put the social inequalities between world regions, countries, geographical regions, and groups of people into sharp relief. Differences in vulnerability and capacities to address these challenges are not only due to the differential exposure of regions to climate and environmental harms, but primarily a result of power asymmetries between agents and heterogeneities along social class, ethnicity, race and gender. The conference aims to shed light on the complex dynamics of environmentally induced migration and the associated societal mechanisms.
