Exploring Non-Economic Losses of Climate Refugees (CRs): A Systematic Review

Abstract

This SSHRC Knowledge Synthesis Grant project used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach to comprehensively synthesize the current knowledge of non-economic losses (NELs) of climate refugees (CRs) in the context of climate change and climate-induced disasters (CCCID). The final analysis included a total of 59 English-language publications. Using mixed methods–univariate analysis and thematic inquiry–the research team identified the findings and synthesized the results into actionable recommendations for future policy, practice, and research.
