Abstract

O presente estudo propõe-se a examinar como migrações de cunho climático podem contribuir para a expansão sustentável de cidades. A partir do método dedutivo, as conexões entre mudanças climáticas e mobilidade humana são inicialmente analisadas. Em seguida, investiga-se como os centros urbanos lidam com tais fenômenos e, por fim, volta-se à Agenda 2030, com especial atenção ao ODS 11. Apesar de almejar tornar as cidades e os assentamentos urbanos inclusivos, seguros, resilientes e sustentáveis, esse ODS não considera o papel desempenhado por migrantes climáticos em áreas urbanizadas. Explora-se, diante disso, a Nova Agenda Urbana(ONU-HABITAT),que reconhece que migrantes podem trazer contribuições sociais, econômicas e culturais para a vida urbana.

Highlights

  • Forced migration has intensified due to the impacts of climate change over the past decades

  • As urban centers can promote the inclusion of climate-induced migrants through policymaking, this study aims at examining how human mobility in the context of climate change can contribute to the sustainable development of cities

  • Referring to the right to the city, the New Urban Agenda includes a comprehensive view of the territory, respect for human rights and gender equality, the social function of the land and capture of the value generated by urban development, the guarantee of the involvement of citizens and society in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of public policies and budgets, the coordination within and among the spheres of government, recognition of the contribution of the informal sector to the urban economy, as well as a commitment to responsible and sustainable management of natural, energy, material and cultural resources94

Summary

Introduction

Forced migration has intensified due to the impacts of climate change over the past decades. Sea-level rise, droughts and desertification processes, as well as the higher incidence of extreme weather-events, are leading to the internal and/or cross-border displacement of people towards urban areas This challenges the governance of several developing countries. Thereafter, the impacts of global warming in urban areas are investigated: while cities are responsible for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere, they become increasingly susceptible and unable to manage their consequences. It looks into the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with a special focus on the Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11).
