Description
Climate change is now a topic that involves the public opinion, the international scientific community, and it is an important issue globally. Among its consequences, the impact on the displacement of human populations is of strong interest to researchers and policymakers.
The concept of climate migration itself and the subsequent recognition of the status of climate refugee presents a loosely defined border. The reference scientific literature is filled with case studies, which represent the main useful tool for understanding the phenomenon.
This study starts from the consideration that climate change, social inequality, and adaptive migration are dynamic and interconnected processes. Through a meta-analysis case study, supported by bibliometric analysis, the framework of international reference literature is presented, followed by an analysis of semantic networks for each continent to achieve a synthetic reconstruction of the phenomenon's characterizations in different areas of the planet. The research focuses particularly on some sociological concepts: the role of social inequalities and the adaptive strategies put in place within the broader framework of climate migration.
