Call for Papers

The 4th Environmental and Climate Mobilities Network (ECMN) Annual Conference builds on the momentum of its previous editions, bringing together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines, world regions, and career stages to explore the intersections of environment, climate, and human mobilities.

ECMN is a transdisciplinary community linking scholars and professionals working on migration and (im)mobility in the context of environmental and climate change. As environmental and climatic shifts accelerate, questions about their relationship to human (im)mobility have gained growing attention across scientific, policy, and public arenas. Yet there is still a clear need for a dedicated space that promotes cross-disciplinary dialogue, facilitates the exchange of insights, and encourages collective thinking on future directions.

Call for Contributions:

The call for abstracts and session proposal will close on 20 January 2026.

ECMN 2026 invites abstracts for papers, workshops, and networking events addressing four themes. Politics explores how policies, media, everyday practices, and geopolitical dynamics shape climate mobilities, including questions of borders, sovereignty, security, and climate coloniality. Inter- and transdisciplinary collaborations seek to advance dialogue across disciplines, engage policymakers and affected communities, and reflect on new methods such as AI, decolonial approaches, and nonhuman-centered research. Land- and waterscapes examines climate (im)mobilities across terrestrial and aquatic environments, from land tenure to marine and riverine contexts, even outer space. Time urges action with urgency and care. Find the full call in the PDF.
