- Boundary issues are central to globalisation – the expansion and time-space integration of human societies – and to both biological and cultural diversity. The latter are, in turn, intrinsically related in processes of coevolution that generate change in the patchwork quilt of cultural and natural landscapes. These processes are especially discernible in small island societies. This paper argues that island studies can enhance our understanding of globalisation processes and how these are involved in the displacement of boundaries and the historically unprecedented decline in both biological and cultural diversity.

- This chapter surveys how climate change affects humanitarian action. Humanitarian actors respond to disasters and support those affected by them. This chapter defines climate change and unpicks to what extent disasters are related to climate change, what causes climate change and how it impacts on and is addressed by humanitarian actors. It addresses to what extent disasters, conflict, and forced migration are caused by climate change and provides an overview of how humanitarian actors have responded to these challenges. The chapter discusses that different regions and populations are differently affected by climate change and that inequalities in access to humanitarian aid can be noticed. After defining humanitarianism and climate change, this chapter examines three areas of humanitarian intervention: disasters, conflict, and migration. Throughout, the chapter considers how in the context of humanitarianism and climate change, inequalities matter, persist, and are perpetuated.
