Call for papers: Climate Mobilities – Redefining Statehood, Citizenship, and Refugeehood in Times of Climate Crisis

Recent literature has provided evidence that six of nine planetary boundaries have been transgressed since 2015. Ocean acidification is also approaching its limit while several regional climate tipping points have already been crossed. Although this data demonstrates that the resilience and stability of the Earth’s system are at high risk, states and scholars have rarely advanced new categories or rethought existing ones to face new challenges that the climate crisis will bring in the near future. Such new challenges include migration and displacement in the context of climate and environmental changes, climate exile, the sovereignty of disappearing lands, citizenship of stateless persons due to climate change, and environmental and human health impacts due to biodiversity loss.
