Academic Publications

The Marshall Islands Climate and Migration Project (MICMP) published several peer-reviewed journal articles as a result of our research on Marshallese experience, in Climatic Change (2020) and the Journal of Disaster Research (2022). The first pages of each of these publications is hyperlinked below. To reference or otherwise locate these publications, you will find details below the first page image. We also include a link to the work of Lauren Sancken, who worked with us to produce our Marshallese-focused legal brief (Climate Finance and the Marshall Islands: Options for Adaptation) from the lessons of her paper, The Price of Sovereignty in the Era of Climate Change: The Role of Climate Finance in Guiding Adaptation Choices for Small Island Developing States.
