Migration, immobility and displacement outcomes following extreme events
458
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of evidence on population movements associated with weather-related extreme events is presented, and it is shown that in the face of extreme environmental events, it is important to distinguish between migration, displacement, and immobility each of which interact and respond to multiple drivers.

- 04 Apr 2019
TL;DR: This thesis uses a case study of the housing market in flood-prone areas that are increasingly at risk as a consequence of climate change to improve the modelling of human behaviour in ABM designed to explore the undesired environmental changes that affect the authors' well-being.

At Risk: Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability, and Disasters.
TL;DR: The authors argue that the social, political and economic environment is as much a cause of disasters as the natural environment and that the concept of vulnerability is central to an understanding of disasters and their prevention or mitigation, exploring the extent and ways in which people gain access to resources.

At Risk: Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability and Disasters
Benjamin Goodwin Wisner,Piers Blaikie,Terry Cannon,Ian Davis +3 more
- 01 Jan 1994
TL;DR: In this paper, the challenge of disasters and their approach are discussed, and a framework and theory for disaster mitigation is presented. But the authors do not address the problem of access to resources and coping in adversarial situations.
Theories of international migration: a review and appraisal.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a discussion of current theories that clarify basic assumptions and hypotheses of the various models of international migration, including macro theories of neoclassical economics, micro theories of macro-economic economics, new economics with examples for crop insurance markets futures markets unemployment insurance and capital markets, dual labor market theory and structural inflation motivational problems economic dualism and the demography of labor supply; and world systems theory and the impacts of land raw materials labor material links ideological links and global cities.

TL;DR: It is explained how, in principle, early warning systems could be established to detect the proximity of some tipping points, and critically evaluate potential policy-relevant tipping elements in the climate system under anthropogenic forcing.
