Call for Paper Proposals – HABITABLE Final Conference

The HABITABLE Consortium invites proposal submissions for the Final Conference in Nairobi (Kenya), on December 4-6, 2024.

The Project moves around three research domains:

1. web of causalities
2. impacts of migration and adaptation strategies
3. comprehensive and strategic policies

which are complemented by two transversal components: gender and social equality, and stakeholder engagement.

The final conference of the project aims at discussing key findings and at creating a dialogue with climate migration researchers, practitioners and experts in the field from various geographies and scholarly backgrounds.

We invite submissions of paper proposals that resonate with the main domains of the project, including but not limited to the following topics:

● “habitability” as a conceptual and analytical tool;
● interactions between geo-climate factors and other drivers of migration, including social, economic, political, cultural and demographic factors;
● predictive models at different spatial and temporal scales;
● the role of perceptions of environmental and socioeconomic factors, and how these influence migration aspirations and assessments of (un)inhabitability;
● micro- and meso-level coping strategies and adaptation solutions;
● the impact of migration on the resilience and vulnerability of sending and receiving communities;
● the role of existing policies and legal frameworks;
● human-rights based approaches to climate migration and displacement;
● scenario narratives focusing on the impacts of climate events and migration;
● the gender and social equity dimension of the climate-migration nexus.

We welcome scholars representing different disciplines and career stages. All proposals may be submitted from 12:00 AM (CEST) May 22, 2024 to 11:59 PM (CEST) July 19, 2024, and should include an abstract (max. 250 words) and a short biography (max. 150 words).
