Item type:Publication, The Risk of Climate-Induced Migration in Tuvalu: Lessons and Way Forward(Common Ground Research Networks, 2025) ;Bazela, MaciejRobinson, José CarlosThis article examines the risks posed by climate change to Tuvalu, a Pacific Island nation highly vulnerable to rising sea levels. It explores a series of short-term and long-term risks, such as the potential disappearance of its territory and the resulting displacement of its population, alongside impacts on natural resources, coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion, and extreme storms. The article discusses measures that the Government of Tuvalu, in collaboration with the international community, has implemented to strengthen community resilience so far. These actions include the use of adaptation technologies to mitigate the impacts of climate hazards, as well as the search for legal and financial solutions to compensate for losses or plan for possible migration in the future. The article concludes by reflecting on the implications for national governance and the international community. Are these interventions effective or, on the contrary, are they perpetuating global inequalities in the fight against climate change? © The authors © The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Civic and Political Studies.

Item type:Publication, Technology as a Response to the Challenges of Aging Society and Shrinking Labor Markets(2022)Bazela, MaciejThis paper examines how Japan has embraced advanced technologies to address the challenges of an aging society and shrinking labor markets. Using Japan as a case study, this paper explores the relationship between human dignity, the intrinsic value of work, and the fourth industrial revolution. The paper is divided into four sections. The first section describes the scale of aging and shrinking labor markets in Japan, and the measures that the Japanese government has used to tackle these problems. The second section offers a selection of five mini cases that show how advanced technologies are used in different sectors of the Japanese economy. The third section outlines some ethical concerns that go beyond utilitarian benefits of using advanced technologies to address the problem of aging. The perspective of Catholic Social Teaching (CST) is adopted as a main advocate of a person-centered social ethics. The fourth section offers an assessment of Japan’s experiment and outlines further research opportunities.44 1
