Session Abstract | ||
Stefanie Kley (Hamburg): Migration, Spatial Mobility and the Ecological Question Climate change, species extinction, land degradation, and environmental pollution are major ecological challenges that are putting pressure on populations around the globe. With this keynote, I would like to give an overview of the breadth of the topic and highlight some areas that I find particularly interesting in the research field of migration and spatial mobility: Research designs and findings on climate change as a driver of out-migration; the relationship between new technologies and migration and spatial mobility; environmental amenities as attractors of migration. |
