Climate change, migration and health are three defining challenges of the 21st century. While each has been extensively studied, research and policy have largely evolved in silos – focusing on climate and migration, migration and health, or climate and health. As a result, there remains a critical gap in understanding how these dynamics interact, and how to design effective, integrated policy responses. Our new open access volume, published by Springer, addresses this gap. Bringing together contributions from members of the CliMigHealth network and the UNU Migration network, the book reflects a unique, interdisciplinary and globally connected research community working at the forefront of this nexus.

The volume presents new empirical evidence and conceptual insights from scholars and practitioners across disciplines including geography, economics, public health, medicine, sociology, psychology and disaster studies. Together, these contributions highlight the complex, context-specific and often non-linear interactions between climate change, human (im)mobility and health outcomes. They also explore adaptation strategies, governance challenges, and innovative transdisciplinary approaches across different regional settings.
