Summary This book features emergent research on environmental migration, particularly in the context of a world beginning to emerge from the grip of a debilitating public health crisis that kept many firmly rooted in place while displacing others internationally. With famines, vast wildfires, droughts, and record heatwaves uprooting human settlements internationally, research on migration in the face of emerging risks is urgent. This book includes several case studies, historical analyses, projections, models, and recommendations for both policy and future research directions. The contributions to this edited collection stem from academics and practitioners in this fertile interdisciplinary field of academic inquiry and focus on the intersection of population and environment studies, history, geography, law, diaspora studies, economics, public health, and sociology. Thomas Walker is a Professor of Finance and Director of the Jacques Mnard - BMO Centre for Capital Markets at Concordia University. He has published over 80 articles and edited books on emerging risk management, corporate finance, sustainability, and fintech. Jane McGaughey is the Johnson Chair of Qubec and Canadian Irish Studies at Concordia University. She is the author of Ulster's Men (2012) and Violent Loyalties (2020). She is the principal investigator of the "Gender, Migration, and Madness" and "Mothers in Time of Cholera" research projects. Gabrielle Machnik-Kekesi is a Research Associate at the Emerging Risks information Center at Concordia University. She holds an Individualized Program Masters degree from Concordia University and a Masters in Information Studies from McGill University. She was awarded a Hardiman Research Scholarship (2021-2025) at the University of Galway, where she is conducting her PhD research. Victoria Kelly is a Research Assistant at the Emerging Risks Information Center at Concordia University and holds a BSc in Biology and Irish Studies. She has been involved in numerous book projects in the area of sustainability and climate change. Victoria's research focuses on the urban, social, and economic management of the 1832 Cholera epidemic in Montreal.
