Workshop: Governing Climate Mobilities 15 Years After the Cancun Agreements - CALL FOR PAPERS

Over fifteen years, it has become increasingly clear that the governance of climate mobilities is inherently vertically and horizontally complex, being highly relevant not only for multiple governance scales, but also across different thematic governance silos. How people moving in the context of climate change fit within these complex governance structures, and how these structures should be amended or added to in order to better account for the dual challenges of climate change and people moving have therefore become lively debates across a range of disciplines, including but not limited to (international) law, political science, and geography. We invite contributions that consider how climate mobilities are being integrated into diverent governance frameworks at all levels of governance and encourage papers that take on a multi-level governance perspective.
