This panel explores the implications of climate change and resource extraction on mobility and displacement across diverse geographic contexts. It examines multiple drivers of climate-related displacement, including value extraction and capital accumulation that generate in-situ displacement, eco-violence, and changing ecologies that render traditional livelihoods untenable. The panel highlights how these drivers shape uneven migration outcomes, where some communities experience distress displacement, others pursue strategic mobility, and others remain involuntarily immobile. It further explores how these dynamics disproportionately impact different communities, from smallholder farmers affected by policy and environmental change to populations facing resource scarcity and conflict. The presentations showcase the importance of evidence-based solutions that center the voices of affected communities, emphasize agency and resilience, and call for greater integration of displaced populations within social-ecological systems. They also highlight the need for stronger alignment between humanitarian-development-peacebuilding approaches and evolving conceptualizations of resilience.
