Lehrinhalt

This course discusses the role of planned relocation in climate change adaptation. The frequency and severity of extreme weather events is expected to increase due to climate change. These developments and challenges have focused the attention of policy makers on the question how to manage natural hazards. Yet, one of the most effective long-term measures, the planned relocation of individuals, has been largely ignored as a possible adaptation option towards changing climate conditions. Residents who are affected by planned relocations are confronted with radical changes in their livelihood; therefore, despite its potential to permanently reduce vulnerability, planned relocation is highly contested within public risk discourse, because of high social and economic costs for individuals and communities. The lecture focus on the question of the role of planned relocation in climate change adaptation, design of planned relocation, motivations to stay or to go, negative and positive effects on individual well-being and communities. Examples are chosen from a wide range of geographical context across the globe.
