Why do some proposed norms become accepted by the international community while others do not? This thesis investigates this central question using two normatively charged international issues – disaster risk reduction and climate-induced migration – as vehicles for explanation. While climate-induced migration attracted much attention in the years 2007–2008, the norm acceptance process was stymied and stalled before it had a chance to gain broad acceptance in the international community. Disaster risk reduction reached a more successful outcome with the international community agreeing to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2015 and with recognition by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change. This thesis draws on theories on norm dynamics to understand these contrasting outcomes. Most importantly, the study argues that existing literature on norms have not sufficiently accounted for contingent factors. This thesis suggests a way to theorize contingencies and to understand how they can influence the norm emergence process. In doing so, it provides new knowledge on how norms emerge, and how they become or do not become accepted in the international system. Elin Jakobsson is a researcher and a teacher in International Relations at Stockholm University. Norm Acceptance in the International Community is her doctoral dissertation.

The adverse effects of climate change drastically alter people’s living conditions in many parts of the world. When they can no longer maintain a secure livelihood, migration may be the only option. While the international community has for some time recognized the challenge, there are still no efficient measures in place to address the challenge. People displaced across international borders due to climate change still lack adequate legal protection. This publication examines how the international community and the EU have dealt with the issue and what has hindered them from taking meaningful action to prevent, prepare and respond to the challenge. What are the policies needed to adequately address the diverse and wide scope of the phenomena? And, in what way can the EU make use of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to better address the issue? The authors make recommendations about how we can deal with the challenge both today and in the future.Climate-driven migration is a reality that requires a vision, values and international long-term commitments. We hope that this report will stimulate debate, raise aware-ness and inspire policymakers in the EU and at the interna-tional level to take action in addressing this challenge.
