Despite the increased reference to the link between climate change and human mobility (which includes displacement, migration, and planned relocation), there is a dearth of knowledge on how shifts in population patterns intersect with underlying socioeconomic, cultural, political, and environmental processes and resources that either enable or constrain the ability of people to cope where they are or force them to move due to lacking support or constrained resources. As part of an NSF Coastlines and People (CoPe) Research Coordination Network (RCN) grant entitled “People on the Move in a Changing Climate (PEMOCC)” led by the Georgia Sea Grant Program, the Southwest Region Project Team is convening a virtual workshop to facilitate a discussion among experts and stakeholders for the identification of the scientific infrastructure that is required to conduct place-based, use-inspired collaborative research on climate-induced human mobility and regionally tailored educational and engagement strategies.
