June 23–26, 2026 | In-person | Wageningen, Netherlands |

ECMN26 is the fourth annual conference of the Environment & Climate Mobilities Network, held under the theme “Mobilities and climate change: Bridging (trans)disciplinary, spatio-temporal and political divides.” The conference brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to examine how climate change and environmental degradation shape human mobility, livelihoods, and rural–urban dynamics, with implications for food systems, agricultural resilience, and adaptation planning. Contributions are invited across 4 hematic pillars—Politics; Inter- and transdisciplinary collaborations and methodologies; Land- and waterscapes; and Time—including innovative sessions and workshops. The call explicitly welcomes emerging approaches such as AI-enabled analysis, nonhuman-centered methods, and decolonizing climate mobilities research. By integrating empirical evidence, governance perspectives, and methodological innovation, ECMN26 aims to inform future research agendas and policy dialogue on climate resilience in highly exposed agrifood and rural regions.
