| Summary/Abstract |
Climate change is having profound implications for people, places and economies in the Asia Pacific region. Displacement due to actual or anticipated climate‐related risks is likely to increase in the future, generating new geographies of risk for those affected. The uneven and harmful consequences of displacement foreground the need to consider matters of justice in particular contexts, in terms of: how decisions are made; the distribution of the outcomes of those decisions, and whose knowledge, values and culture are taken into account in decision‐making (Miller, 2019). At a more international scale, the focus on justice also highlights the highly uneven nature of responsibility for climate change, the disproportionate burden of climate change risks on communities who have contributed little to the problem in terms of historical greenhouse gas emissions, and the lack of substantive action on climate change amongst high emitting countries (Ikeme, 2003; Füssel, 2010; Leckie and Simperingham, 2015).

| Summary/Abstract |
Increasingly the environment, and climate risks in particular, are influencing migration and planned resettlement in Vietnam, raising the spectre of increased displacement in a country already confronting serious challenges around sustainable land and water use as well as urbanisation. Planned resettlement has emerged as part of a suite of measures being pursued as part of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation strategies. This paper provides an historical, political, legal and environmental overview of resettlement in Vietnam identifying key challenges for framing resettlement as climate change adaptation. The paper outlines the scale of past resettlement in Vietnam, identifying the drivers and implications for vulnerability. Detailed case studies of resettlement are reviewed. Through this review, the paper reflects on the growing threat of climate change and the likelihood of increased displacement associated with worsening climate risks to identify some critical considerations for planned resettlement in climate change adaptation planning.

| Summary/Abstract |
The paper conceptualises the process of voluntary relocation undertaken by rural farmers to informal settlements in coastal cities. These are journeys that occur without formal institutional support, utilising migrants' own agency. Learning from these community‐driven relocations has merit in rethinking climate change adaptation at the regional level. In this paper we present stories of 17 families who have progressively relocated to the fringes of Khulna city in southwestern Bangladesh. We observe three key attributes: first, relocations are slow, neither singular nor immediately completed, but rather take months of careful back and forth journeys of family members between their places of origin and destination. Second, relocations rely on small networks of relatives and acquaintances at the destination. Third, relocations are built on shared responsibilities distributed among a range of actors in places of origin and destination. We conclude that these slow, small and shared relocations are likely to be realised as forms of ongoing adaptation by rural farmers if their aspirational mobilities, social relations and supports are maintained at a regional scale. This kind of migration as adaptation may bring about just outcomes for those displaced without necessarily promoting rigid planning interventions that tend to fix resettlement solutions in place and time.
