Abstract

This is the first volume to address climate-related human mobility in the Nordic region in a single thematic and interdisciplinary volume. It grew out of the first workshops of the Nordic Network on Climate-Related Displacement and Mobility (Nordic Network), founded in 2019 by the co-editors. The workshops and ongoing collaboration through the Nordic Network revealed that very limited academic research has focused expressly on the varieties of human mobility playing out in the Nordic region in the context of climate change. Rather, human mobility has tended to be incorporated, almost incidentally, within research into disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and urban planning. In other words, research relevant to climate-related human mobility in the Nordics was not clearly in conversation with the wider body of climate-mobility literature being generated in other parts of the world. This was a puzzling state of affairs given the engagement of Nordic states in international initiatives addressing climate-related displacement and mobility, and one that the contributors here have sought to address.
