Its aim is toshed light on the social phenomena associated with anthropogenic climate change. The differentcontributions aim to uncover its multidimensional and far-reaching political effects, includingclimate-induced migration movements and climate-related conflicts in different parts of the world.In doing so, the authors critically engage with securitising discourses and resulting anti-migrationarguments and policies in the Global North. In this way, they identify and give a voice to alternativeand hitherto underrepresented research and policy perspectives. Overall, the special issue aims tocontribute to a critical and holistic approach to human mobility and conflict in the context of politicaland environmental crisis.
