ABSTRACT
The foregoing 12 chapters have provided a wide cross-section of views and experiences of several countries and their efforts to find best case, land-based outcomes for people already on the move and particularly for the far larger numbers of people threatened with future climate displacement. These reviews have provided a rich and deep series of insights into just how difficult the processes for resolving climate displacement will be in practice. In seeking to fix climate displacement, all of those concerned with these processes will be forced by circumstance to grapple with some of the most complex areas in any society: land and property rights, land acquisition, relocation of entire villages (and perhaps even countries), the relationship between customary land rights and formal land laws, the rights of the most vulnerable sectors of society, disaster planning and prevention, massive infusions of public and private funds, and, above all, political and economic interests that are neither favourably disposed towards or even recognize the immense problems facing the world’s climate-displaced population.
