Abstract
Research concerning human mobility in the context of environmental change is
primarily focused on analyses of the nexus itself. We have taken a less-travelled route,
focusing on those who take an interest in the issue, engage with it professionally or seek
to address the multitude of social, economic and political dimensions associated with it.
We used an online survey to examine perceptions of the human mobility/environmental
change nexus amongst those who work with or within it (n = 262 respondents),
situating our findings within the policy development they often seek or help to propel.
We outline respondents’ overall characteristics, their conceptualisation of the human
mobility/environmental change nexus and, finally, their policy preferences or priorities.
We find, overall, that respondents are concerned with mobility approaches that promote
equity as well as economic opportunity.
