ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines why and how have the political–economic actors replaced the knowledge of climate refugees with that of climate-induced displaced/migrants in the discussions of climate change in Bangladesh. It includes the discussion of three debates – legal, political–economic, and security concerns – regarding conceptualizing the uprooted people. The book then focuses on how the idea of resilience helped to replace the term climate refugees with that of climate change-induced displacement. It also demonstrates how some dominant actors in global climate politics – the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the World Bank – interpreted climate change data to produce the knowledge of population movement in Bangladesh. The book portrays the actors involved in framing the knowledge of climate refugees as the same actors who replaced it with that of climate change-induced displacement.
