Disasters and climate-related risks displace millions of people each year. Planned relocation is one strategy used to address displacement. However, little attention has been paid to the secondary impacts of planned relocations, and how they influence the risk, vulnerability, and well-being of other groups, particularly people who live on the land selected for relocation sites, or in neighbouring areas. This paper explores how current and potential planned relocations in Fiji and the Philippines redistribute vulnerabilities to non-target communities that previously lived on, or alongside, relocation site land. The notion of cascading displacement is introduced to illustrate a serious consequence of planned relocations in which insecurity and displacement are recreated and perpetuated due to a failure to consider the needs of non-target groups that are directly disadvantaged by relocation processes. Insights from this paper may be used to inform future relocation policy and practice to achieve more equitable and sustainable outcomes for all involved.
每年都有数百万人因灾害和与气候相关的风险而被迫迁移。有计划的重新安置是应对人口迁移的一种策略。然而，人们很少关注有计划的重新安置所带来的次要影响，以及这些影响如何影响其他群体的风险、脆弱性和福祉，特别是那些居住在重新安置地点所在土地上或附近地区的人。本文探讨了斐济和菲律宾目前和潜在的重新安置计划如何将脆弱性重新分配给以前居住在重新安置地点土地上或附近的非目标社区。引入级联迁移的概念是为了说明由于未能考虑到因重新安置过程而直接处于不利地位的非目标群体的需求而导致的重新安置计划的一个严重后果，即不安全和迁移的情况不断重现和持续存在。本文的观点可以用来为未来的重新安置政策和实践提供信息，以实现所有相关方更加公平和可持续的结果。
