(Re)opening the politics of climate migration: The ‘alter-geopolitics’ of climate activists in vancouver
研究温哥华气候活动家如何用气候正义视角理解气候迁移,挑战主流的安全化、个体化叙事,强调尊严、团结与责任链,为治理提供更公正的原则。
This paper examines the political possibilities that emerge when climate migration is understood through the lens of climate justice. By exploring the aspirations, understandings, and practices of climate activists in Vancouver, British Columbia, it shows how climate justice frameworks come to bear on the issue of climate migration in ways which challenge dominant political narratives and approaches. While these have tended to problematise, securitise, and individualise the causes and consequences of climate migration, a grassroots, activist ‘alter-geopolitics’ of climate migration foregrounds notions of dignity and solidarity, emphasising both the humanity of migrants and the chains of responsibility connecting those on the move and those not. Through this discussion, the paper offers a more just set of principles for governing climate migration, engaging alternative scales, spaces, and actors.
