New open access book:
Climate Change and Migration: Global Challenges and Local Mitigation Strategies (Peter Lang, March 2026) [open access]
- "This volume explores the complex intersection of climate change and migration from interdisciplinary and international perspectives. Based on the 2023 Antalya Science Forum (ANISF), the book brings together leading scholars and practitioners to analyze climate-induced mobility, food security, legal frameworks, urban resilience, and policy responses at global, national, and local levels. Contributions span empirical research, legal analysis, and case studies from Africa, Türkiye, and the EU. With a focus on inclusive and rights-based approaches, the volume challenges Eurocentric narratives and calls for stronger academic cooperation and policy innovation to address two of the most pressing global issues of our time."

- "In January 2025 we launched a call for proposals for FMR 76 on ‘Climate change: choices for displaced people’ and received an unprecedented number of submissions. Whilst we only had space for 25 articles in the initial volume, we wanted to enable more authors to share their interesting and timely work with the FMR audience. To this end, over the course of April and May we will be publishing an additional 14 articles to complement the original issue, continuing the focus on responses to climate displacement which are proactive, rights-based and human-centred." As of this writing, three new articles have been posted
