Summary/Abstract: Research appears to be at an impasse on governance of environmental displacement (Hathaway 2017). Going beyond, this paper analyses mobilizations’ historicity, underlying concepts, interests, pitfalls and perspectives. This systematic review suggests that we need to shift from the security-oriented, state-led governance which the "adaptation-relocation" approach is in line with towards a subjective and multi-faceted governance scheme which conceptual framework remains uncertain, appraising the role of systemic instruments such as human rights to ensure holistic coherence.
