N2 - Policymakers, practitioners and scholars are increasingly recognising that the environmental impacts of anthropogenic climate change can affect people’s mobility, including varied forms of migration, displacement and relocation. This opening chapter of the De Gruyter Handbook of Climate Migration and Climate Mobility Justice traces the evolution of key ideas around the climate change - human mobility nexus, paying attention to mobility justice, intersectionality and complexity. Climate im/mobility is conceptualised across different timescales, spatial scales, and with respect to the level of agency and control that people have over where they live. The individual chapter contributions to this handbook are framed in relation to current topics in climate im/mobilities and climate mobility justice, and cover perspectives, syntheses of current literature and new empirical work. Recognising that climate im/mobility is not restricted to any particular geographic region, case study examples in the handbook are drawn from the Pacific, Australia, North America, South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia and West Africa. Taken together, the examples and concepts in this handbook provide insight into how the interface between human im/mobility and climate change might act to transform communities, regions, cities and global society in the decades to come.
