Item talk:Q701

Adding some quick wins/thoughts here wearing my refugee/migration policy expert hat on:

Additional Groups/Aliases to Add:

• Human trafficking victims / victims of modern slavery
• "IDPs" (for Internally Displaced Persons)
• Returnees
• Stateless persons
• Relocated communities
• Persons of concern (widely used in refugee policy discourse as an umbrella term for people on the move/forced to flee)
• child migrant / unaccompanied minor / child refugee / young migrant/refugee
• pastoralist communities / pastoralists / nomads / nomadic people / bedouin (aware also linked to rural poor in concept store)

Other variations for migrant/refugee in climate docs:

• environmental migrant, disaster migrant, climate migrant, eco-migrant

Definition Tweak:

• "People who have left their homes, either by force, voluntarily, or a mix of both" ( lots of references to mixed migration in climate context)

Creating subconcepts for different types of migrants:

• Consider delineating between migrants vs refugees vs IDPs

Classification Note:

• Is “people on the move” best placed as a direct subconcept of “people with limited assets”? Would consider classifying it as a related concept instead, as it does not always fit neatly / worried what that suggests.

Additional Food for thought:

• Find a place to house general language commonly used in migration discourse in climate policy documents (e.g., climate migration, human mobility, planned relocation).

• Also consider adding specific refugee groups/camps vulnerable to climate change (e.g., Rohingyas in Cox’s Bazaar / Bhasan Char, Somalis in Dadaab, Sahel).
