Climate & Human Migration

The Climate & Migration Project researches the factors that inform migration in the face of high impact climatic events.

Among its aims, the project seeks to identify and examine economic and racial disparities in migration patterns following extreme weather events, including natural disasters, such as flooding, as well as unpack correlations between climate impacts and international migration flows through the Darien Gap and to the Southern Border of the United States.

The interdisciplinary team project uses observational data from a global sample of countries as well as survey and census data in its work.
