ABSTRACT

Disasters, climate change and environmental degradation are already reshaping human mobility patterns. In 2022 alone, 32.6 million new internal displacements took place in the context of disasters across the world. Building on expanding evidence and research, there has been a growing recognition of the importance to address disaster displacement and environmental migration in the international community, through different policy fora (inter alia climate change policy, migration policy, and disaster risk reduction policy). Nordic States has contributed to building up this recognition in policy discourses and paving the way to the identification and implementation of solutions: from the support to the Nansen Initiative to the recent pledges regarding Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts. This chapter will provide an overview of recent international commitments and policy frameworks of Nordic states relevant to addressing human mobility in the context of disasters, climate change and environmental degradation to better understand.
