Summary/Abstract: Despite growing attention around the climate security-migration nexus, the linkages between climate change, migration, and conflict and security risks have remained a matter of debate for research, policy, and practice (Brzoska & Fröhlich, 2016; Boas et al., 2019). Attempts at gathering empirical evidence on this nexus (Abel et al., 2019), as well as global level policy instruments (IOM, 2018), have mainly focused on international contexts. At national and sub-national scales, interest and awareness around this nexus (von Uexkull & Buhaug, 2021; IPCC 2022) has yet to be reflected in the policy arena. Not only are the development of policies for national and human security and for climate adaptation and mitigation often detached, they largely fail to consider the complex pathways that connect these two dimensions with human mobility and immobility.
