Climate Change and Human (Im)Mobility: The Role of Compound and Cascading Risks

The 2C-RISK project is the first to comprehensively analyze the interrelated effects of compound and cascading climatic and non-climatic risks on human mobility worldwide and to pioneer the empirical assessment and quantification of climate-related immobility. Climate change can have major implications for human mobility through its impacts on security, livelihoods, health and well-being, potentially leading to increased displacement and migration. At the same time, not everyone affected decides to move, and climatic risks and related impacts can also lead to heightened immobility. Patterns in (im)mobility are crucially shaped by a range of drivers and moderators influencing who becomes…
