Climate Migration

Climate Migration (Website).png

This research project focuses on climate-impacted populations displaced to cities, where they settle in informal housing, facing increased vulnerabilities. The project aims to map these vulnerabilities using housing inadequacy as an indicator and develop risk reduction strategies. Key activities include creating and testing a risk assessment tool, scaling risk reduction models, vulnerability measurement, and engaging in policy advocacy. The goal is to reduce disaster risks for displaced families, particularly women and girls, through locally-driven actions.

When climate disasters force families from their homes, the impacts don’t stop at displacement; they cascade into livelihoods, health, and safety.

 

Shifting Skin: Stories of Humans and Homes uses housing as the lens to uncover hidden vulnerabilities. It tests locally grounded coping mechanisms that communities are already using to adapt. The project aims to bring local knowledge closer to the policy-making process, while centring dignity for displaced families.
