Abstract

The planned relocation of communities away from areas of climate-related risk has emerged as a critical strategy to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Empirical examples from around the world show, however, that such relocations often lead to poor outcomes for affected communities. To address this challenge, and contribute to developing guidelines for just and sustainable relocation processes, this paper calls attention to three fundamental tensions in planned relocation processes: (1) conceptualizations of risk and habitability; (2) community consultation and ownership; and (3) siloed policy frameworks and funding mechanisms. Drawing on the collective experience of 29 researchers, policymakers and practitioners from around the world working on planned relocations in the context of a changing climate, we provide strategies for collectively and collaboratively acknowledging and navigating these tensions among actors at all levels, to foster more equitable and sustainable relocation processes and outcomes.

驾驭与气候变化相关的计划搬迁中的紧张局势。

有计划地将社区迁离与气候有关的风险地区，已成为适应气候变化影响的一项重要战略。然而，世界各地的经验实例表明，这种搬迁往往会给受影响社区带来不良后果。为了应对这一挑战，并为制定公正和可持续的搬迁程序指南做出贡献，本文呼吁关注计划搬迁程序中的三个基本矛盾：（1）风险和可居住性的概念化；（2）社区协商和所有权；以及（3）孤立的政策框架和筹资机制。根据来自世界各地的 29 名研究人员、决策者和从业人员在不断变化的气候背景下从事有计划搬迁工作的集体经验，我们提供了在各级参与者之间集体协作承认和驾驭这些紧张关系的策略，以促进更加公平和可持续的搬迁过程和结果。
