Climate Migration Outcomes: Work Now! Oar! Fail-Later
"Oaring like madmen of the sea "
Abstract
Based in four potential climate migration outcomes as described by Khanna (2021) this student research article will outline these scenarios to substrate current concerns and hurdles obstructing favorable and humane outcomes. In this pursuit some of the most vulnerable populations and potential outcome scenarios will be highlighted. Key questions surrounding the plight of climate migration as a result of climate drivers will also be examined. Current urgent issues surrounding support for southern hemisphere locations will be discussed and supported by data. Issues of refoulement policy and practices will be explored. In addition to this, pressing climate change data will be used to support the need for fast and collaborative political decision making where climate migration is concerned. The socio-economic impacts of climate change are already being actualized; available and creative solutions must be utilized to circumvent failure.
This project will entail having a descriptive poster that will be supported by dialogue that elucidates its understanding. It is hoped that in its presentation it will alert and inform even the novitiate viewer so that they may take away a better understanding of both the urgency and dynamics of the climate migration situation. This project portends to fill a basic information gap as to the why’s and wherefores of our current situation in global climate change migration. Case studies and data will be drawn from leaders in the realms of climate change as well as from information provided by the Conference of Parties (COP), United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and others.
*NOTE One challenge I currently foresee may be incorporating non-refoulement; policy, into a visually appealing and clear poster element. I hope to offer other pertinent information as needed to my poster to support its intent.

Black et., al. (2011), discusses five families of drivers of climate change as they relate to climate change. They are Political, Demographic, Economic, Social and Environmental. To this, land degradation is an additional migration motivator. The timing of this schema of drivers and there interactions impact the decisions that migrants consider when deciding to migrate. Be it within or without the confines of their states. In this light various measurements are taken and observations are noted. While conflicting information sometimes occurs the identity of these drivers becomes relevant. These are designated areas of motivating factors for climate migration. They are foundational to understanding why there are climate refugees. This peer reviewed document is well supported and applies mixed sociological methods and measurements to develop its thesis. It sub-straights and aligns with my developing perspectives on climate migration (Black, et., al.).
Goundar, (2023) explores policy issues that affect, Inter-Pacific Islands Migration (IPIM). He argues that current aid policies and initiatives have not fully covered the concerns of the IPIM. Specifically that other Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) are migrating in significant numbers to Fiji. This situation adds stress to Fijian’s and their infrastructure. Statistics of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) on intra-regional policies and local Fiji national polices are considered through a mixed methods approach that occurred between 2021 and 2023. This article supports my inquiry because it sheds light on both the need for streamlining migration and the tensions that should be considered during an equitable climate migration process. This resource utilizes statistical data and observation to develop its thesis. This work is peer reviewed. This work also informs both myself and the intent of my project by providing insight into the dynamics of climate change migration (Goundar, S.,2023).
Khanna, (2021) in fact is primarily responsible for and my choice of project. His descriptions of four potential climate change outcomes in his book “Move Where People are Going for a Better Future” opens a lot of potentialities for a climate change project. The four potentialities described are: The Regional Fortress, New middle Ages, Northern Lights and Barbarians at the Gate. These scenarios are models built by the expert evaluation of the author based on a range of outcomes that result from the consideration of mobility, authority, technology, and community as they may combine now and in the future. This model supports my perspective by identifying these potentialities so that necessary steps may be taken toward a positive outcome for everyone on the planet. Additionally, this model relies on a mixed methods data to support its construction. It is well supported: it clarifies and aligns with my long held observations (Khanna, P., 2021).
McAdam, (2013) and Negishi (2024) support primary elements of my project by exploring the caveats of refoulement. State sponsored examples of this practice are given to demonstrate their current bastardization of refoulement and creation of non-refoulement. Additionally, these observations will support my study by identifying current regional areas of concern and practice propagated by global powers to circumvent international law. These infractions result in the disenfranchisement of current and future migrant populations. These articles unmolested, provide historical context and case studies that are implicit in the construction of a viable theoretical project framework. The observations of these authors present peer reviewed data and arguments to support their claims. The exposure of these oft dubious practices align with my theoretical framework and the process of disclosure that my project strives for. The ill-practice of them does not align with successful global climate change migration outcomes (McAdam J., 2013) and (Negishi Y,. 2024).
