Often, the media and policymakers approach the issue of limate change, migration and displacement by asking questions related to “how many” migrants will come. An equally important but less considered question is how national institutions will adapt to accommodate climate change and human mobility. This paper suggests that the capacity of states to adjust to these changes effectively is contingent upon the particular cultural, social, economic and political contexts in which they function and the structural constraints of government machinery. Rather than proposing prêt-a-porter solutions for nation-states, it is important to help states better understand the institutional implications of climate change and human mobility and to aid them in designing custom policies. This paper illustrates these issues with reference to climate change-induced migration in Bangladesh, Mexico and Senegal.
