人们越来越多地提出从脆弱热点地区搬迁到其他更安全的地点作为气候变化应对方案之一。然而，它在言辞和更重要的是政策上的一致采用仍然难以捉摸。本文评估了政策和规划领域的不同参与者将搬迁视为应对气候变化的可行应对措施的程度，这一点是从搬迁言论渗透到旨在告知和指导适应的文件中的程度推断出来的。该研究调查了 56 份地方、州和国家气候变化适应文本，以确定有多少文本正在考虑和/或提及搬迁、它们使用什么语言以及在什么背景下进行。进行内容分析，衡量关键词迁移、撤退、迁移、废弃的出现、频率及其频度。结果表明，在审查的当代适应文件中，搬迁措辞的使用存在显着的不一致和缺乏连贯性，这阻碍了更全面的考虑以及搬迁政策和规划的制定。为了解决这一障碍，作者提出了气候变化背景下搬迁一词的统一定义。
Relocation from vulnerability hotspots to alternative safer locations is being increasingly proposed as one of the climate change response options. Yet, its consistent adoption in the rhetoric and more importantly policy remains elusive. This paper evaluates the extent to which different actors in policy and planning arenas consider relocation as a viable response to climate change as inferred from the extent to which relocation rhetoric permeates documents designed to inform and guide adaptation. The study examines 56 local, state, and national climate change adaptation texts to determine how many are considering and/or referring to relocation, what language they employ, and in which context. The content analysis was performed to measure the occurrence and frequency of keywords relocation, retreat, migration, and abandonment, as well as their frequency. The results show a significant inconsistency and lack of coherence in the use of relocation rhetoric among examined contemporary adaptation documents that are impeding a more comprehensive consideration and the development of relocation policy and planning. To address this barrier, the author proposes a unifying definition of the term relocation within the context of climate change.
