International School On Climate Mobilities

Established in 2022, the mission of the International School on Climate Mobilities is to connect and engage emerging scholars, practitioners and change-makers in critical knowledge exchange and to equip them with tools to advance timely, creative, cross-sectoral and just solutions to the climate change, environment and (im)mobilities nexus. Delivering an enriching and interdisciplinary educational program, the ISCM seeks to equip curious and change-driven scholars, researchers and practitioners with the tools needed to critically analyse the complexities of climate-induced displacement. By unpacking the many nuances of problematizing climate-related mobilities across disciplines and geographies, the ISCM provides a space for co-knowledge production across historical, socio-political, legal and developmental perspectives in the hope of creating durable, needs-responsive and sustainable solutions. Uniquely, the ISCM places compounding threats to the livelihoods, wellbeing, rights and lives of those most vulnerable to environmental change at its centre. It grants particular attention to underlying conditions of marginality that render women and girls, racialized, minority and Indigenous groups and economically disenfranchised persons highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, to climate-induced displacement and related threats. The goal of the ISCM is to bring researchers, advocates and experts together to collaborate towards the advancement of a more environmentally just world.
