9 The Bikini Atoll Community: A Case Study in Displacement, Climate Change Vulnerability and (Im)mobility


World Heritage Site: Bikini Atoll Nuclear Test Site

Publication Year: 2024

Publication Type: Book chapter

Publication Identifier: WHECDC40AA735

Summary

Bikini Atoll's community faces compounded displacement challenges due to nuclear testing legacy and climate change, revealing critical vulnerabilities in mobility justice. The study highlights how historical displacement from nuclear tests exacerbates modern climate-induced migration pressures, creating a unique case of (im)mobility. Research employed mixed methods, including interviews with displaced communities and analysis of environmental data, to assess vulnerability and adaptation strategies. Findings underscore the need for policies addressing both nuclear remediation and climate resilience to ensure equitable mobility outcomes.
