Call for Contributions for the Launch Event of the 

Environmental and Climate Mobilities Network: Towards a transdisciplinary understanding of migration and im/mobilities in the context of environmental and climate change

Conveners: Ingrid Boas (Wageningen University), Kees van der Geest (UNU-EHS), Francois Gemenne (University of Liege), Patrick Sakdapolrak (University of Vienna) 

Local Organization: Harald Sterly, Marion Borderon & TransForm Working Group, University of Vienna

Date and Venue: 10 (afternoon) -12 (noon) July 2023, Vienna

Background: Climate mobilities and migration have for a long time been a niche topic in research, policies and public debate; this has changed in the past years, as is indicated by the number of publications, conferences, and the visibility in high-level meetings such as COP and in news and media. Research methodologies are becoming refined and more specialized, and the number of researchers in the topic is quickly growing. This is resulting, among others, in the emergence of epistemic and research communities with limited connectedness between each other (e.g. quantitative modeling, economics, development research, critical social science, legal studies, cultural studies, etc.). At the same time, public and policy discourses would benefit from inputs by a stronger research community. 

Call for Contributions: we invite contributionsfrom all relevant disciplines and fields on the variety of themes related the topic (diverse mobilities and immobilities in the context of environmental and climate change: diversity of environmental and climatic events and change processes; the role of socio-economic, socio-cultural and socio-political processes for (im)mobilities; the range of methodological approaches and advancements; elevant policy processes, their implications and ways the question how science policy divide can be bridged).
