Academic discussion of climate‑related human mobility has
understandably focused on the places where people are especially
vulnerable to climate‑related harm: the Global South. Yet, the
unique biophysical, legal and socio‑political characteristics of the
Nordic region, as well as its roles as both ‘home’ and ‘host’
to climate‑related mobilities, justify its independent attention.
Filling this lacuna, this collection is the first to address
climate‑related human mobility in the Nordic region. It is a timely
and much needed collection, which brings together leading and emerging
voices from both academia and practice in a single volume, spanning
policy and geographical breadth. Its chapters cover both regional
approaches to the global phenomenon of climate mobility, such as the
traditional role of the Nordic states as norm entrepreneurs and their
representation in multilateral fora, and on‑the‑ground climate
impacts unique to this region and their localised responses. Case
studies include judicial decision‑making as it relates to
climate‑related migration, insights into the local communication of
climate risk, changes to Nordic development and climate policy, as
well as climate‑related mobilities of Nordic Indigenous Peoples.
This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of
disaster and climate studies, as well as climate‑related mobility,
migration and displacement.
