ABSTRACT
Population movements and their implications have been the object of growing attention within research, policy and operational work focusing on the linkages between people and the environment for at least three decades. Topics such as migration, displacement, relocation and remittance transfers are becoming increasingly central to disaster risk reduction (DRR) including climate change adaptation (CCA) research and policy. Integrating DRR including CCA and human mobility perspectives will help to better understand and address the whole palette of these decisions and their implications on the wellbeing and risk of those moving and those staying behind, as well as the members of their host communities. Working on mobility in the context of risk reduction requires looking at a variety of areas, taking into account both risk and risk reduction outcomes of population movements and the mobility outcomes of environmental processes and events.
