Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article explores how climate change and disasters can change the trajectory of land grabs and how humanitarian principles, instruments and climate change mitigation strategies are used to justify large-scale land deals in the wake of a disaster. Focusing on a small island in the Philippines devastated by the 2013 typhoon Haiyan and the community’s history of agrarian land conflict, the article demonstrates how this complex interplay camouflages the power dynamics between the dominant elite and peasants, obscures the line between land grab and provisions for human security and has the potential to abruptly change spatial, institutional and political land arrangements in poor communities on a global scale.
