Environmental Mobility in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Keywords: environmental mobility, climate mobility, environmental displacement, climate displacement, environmental migrants, climate migrants, 2030 Agenad, Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

This contribution explores the role that implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development could play in promoting mobility as a development strategy that could also serve as a way to adapt to environmental and climatic changes in the place of living. On the other hand, it analyses closely the positive impact that the achievement of certain SDGs and their targets could have in preventing the need to move in the face of such changes, especially to avoid forced displacement.
