Climate-related relocation: improving policy and practice outcomes (ARC DP25 administered by UoM) (2025-2029)
Abstract
The proposed project will significanty advance knowledge of the factors that enable successful relocation of communities away from sites of climate risk. Relocation of communities is a complex and difficult task and little is known about how to support such processes in ways that safeguard, dignify and improve people's lives. Through in-depth case studies of community relocations in Australia, Fiji, and the USA (Alaska), each at different stages of the relocation process, this project will generate new knowledge of the factors that determine successful and equitable outcomes. Expected project outcomes include novel and policy-relevant evidence on climate relocation, and new international research collaborations.
