Description
Climate change and migration has over the past decades become an established topic within international governance. This has been even more so the case since the mid-2010s, with the decision document accompanying the 2015 Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 2018 Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration both including explicit recognition of the links. Since then, attention has intensified and the stakeholders engaging in discussions around climate change and migration have diversified, bringing with them a broader range of thematic interests. As a result, a second conjunctive ‘and’ is being added to the thematic duo of climate change and migration. Trios such as ‘climate change and migration and health’, ‘climate change and migration and children’, or ‘climate change and migration and food’ are therefore taking up an increasingly prominent position in governance discussions. While the increase in topics adds new facets to governance discussions and allows for more holistic approaches, newcomers to the topic also frequently revert to simplified framings of climate change and migration and struggle to move beyond sketching links to make recommendations for governance action. In this article, we analyse how stakeholders with thematic specialisations outside of climate change and migration understand the links between and climate change and migration. With a focus on stakeholders in the areas of health, children, and food, we conduct frame analysis of policy documents to understand how they are framing these links in their policy-facing work.| Period | 11 Jul 2024 |
