Over the past decade, climate change and mobility dynamics have increasingly been at the forefront of global transformations, shaping processes of change in different spheres of society and prompting reactions in local households as in global political arenas (Boas, 2015). For this reason, climate change and mobility dynamics have become topical issues in both academic and policy circles (see for instance Raleigh et al., 2008; Zickgraf, 2019). In recent years, climate change and mobility have even been approached as interlinked factors in broad and often politicised discussions of supposedly increasing climate migration.

 However, it is problematic to make any simple correlation between slow-onset climate change and migration, as people’s decisions whether to move or not are often highly complex (Boas et al., 2019; Perch-Nielsen et al., 2008). For this reason, the notion of climate-related mobility can explore the influence on mobility of different layers of individuals’ or households’ practices, perceptions, capabilities and aspirations, some of which may be related to climate change without being exclusively shaped by it.
