Description
Summary:The study aims at examining how climate-induced migration can contribute to the sustainable development of cities. Through the deductive approach, the linkages between climate change and human mobility are initially analyzed. Thereafter, it investigates how urban centers deal with such phenomena. It then looks into the Agenda 2030, with a special focus on the SDG 11. Despite the attempt to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, this SDG does not take into account the role played by climate-induced migrants in urbanized areas. In view of this, the New Urban Agenda (UN-HABITAT) is explored: it recognizes that migrants can bring significant social, economic and cultural contributions to urban life.
