- Summary:
- "Climate change will have distinct impacts on various regions and populations. In this context, human mobility can be an empowered adaptation strategy or an unwelcome necessity for survival with a high human cost. Existing legal frameworks were not created with a view to addressing human mobility in the context of climate change impacts; there is presently scarce political will to develop new, bespoke legal mechanisms. In Humans on the Move, Grant Dawson and Rachel Laut explore how the insuciency of legal frameworks, coupled with increasing recognition that attempts to mitigate global warming will be insufficient to prevent massive human movements, have driven the development of an adaptive approach"-- Provided by publisher.
