👥Imagine... Exploring the drivers and impacts of climate change-induced displacement👥
💡 Imagined Endstate:
A world where vulnerable communities are empowered to adapt to the effects of environmental hazards and climate stressors, and where displacement is minimized and managed in a humane and dignified way.

💥 What’s the Big Deal:
This study uses data-driven machine learning techniques to model and explain human displacement caused by sudden-onset disasters such as floods, storms, and landslides.🌊 It reveals that displacement is mainly influenced by the combination of poor household conditions and intense precipitation, and that differential vulnerability exists across regions and countries.🌎 The study provides empirical evidence and insights that could inform evidence-based mitigation and adaptation policies.
