DIIS Working Paper
The past in the present - Ethiopia
New DIIS Working Papers laying out the contexts for research on Governing Climate Mobility in Ethiopia and Ghana
The Governing Climate Mobility (GCM) research programme is studying the ways that different governance environments influence people’s mobility practices in the face of climate change. As a preparatory step to undertaking field-based studies in Ethiopia and Ghana, these two DIIS Working Papers explore the interplay of three historical dynamics in the two countries:
1. the emergence of contemporary governance in each country;
2. the state of slow onset climate change and historical environmental disturbances, and
3. the diverse forms of mobility and immobility practiced
The papers draw on secondary data sources to trace how these three types of dynamics have formed, affected and co-produced each other.
