Abstract

The objective of the work is to analyze the tensions related to population relocation due to the impossibility of permanence because of environmental alteration. The research focuses on two cases of island territories in the Pacific: Nauru and Banaba, where the environmental impact resulting from phosphate mining has led to the planning of population relocation. Literature on the historical context and mining on the islands is used, engaging with international migration studies and legal documents to investigate common tensions in relocation. This form of displacement promotes various social tensions, with particular emphasis on issues related to territory, nationality, cultural claims, and ultimately, aspects involving financial compensation.
