N1 - Funding Information:
MM's contributions to this article is partly based on research conducted in the context of the project (18_II_149_Global_Risiko_Vorhersage) ClimMobil-Judicial and policy responses to climate change-related mobility in the European Union with a focus on Austria and Sweden (KR18AC0K14747) funded by the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund, ACRP 11th Call (2019-2022) and partly on research of the project vulnerability-The concept of vulnerability in the context of human rights (P 32130-G31) funded by the FWF Austrian Research Fund (2019-2023). FT's contributions arose in the context of the Brazil East Africa Peru India Climate Capacities (B-EPICC) project, part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The German Federal Foreign Office supports IKI on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bundestag. CF was funded by Australian Research Council Future Fellowship FT210100512.

N2 - Climate mobility revolves around issues of justice and human rights, whether this be concerning its causes, expression or handling. This paper examines the justice-rights nexus as it relates to climate mobility, highlighting how the two spheres converge and diverge. It works with four case studies exploring the complexity of rights and justice in the climate mobility context. Our case studies are diverse, in terms of the mobility types concerned and the rights and justice-based issues involved. We show that conceptualizing or achieving just or righteous outcomes is neither certain nor a uniform pursuit when it comes to climate mobility. Rather, there are many divergences–by those who claim rights or justice, and those asked to respond. We present a complex and contested space, highlight the importance of approaching justice and rights matters contextually, and with special attention to particularities when climate mobility is at issue.
