Linking Climate Change, Habitability and Social Tipping Points: Scenarios for Climate Migration

Descrizione del progetto

DE EN ES FR IT PL

I cambiamenti climatici come fattore scatenante della migrazione

Un numero considerevole di migranti in arrivo nell’UE fugge da paesi africani e asiatici colpiti dai cambiamenti climatici. Il progetto HABITABLE, finanziato dall’UE, lavorerà per migliorare la nostra comprensione di come i cambiamenti climatici influiscono sugli standard di migrazione e spostamento, coinvolgendo, in un approccio multidisciplinare, le parti interessate dell’Africa occidentale e orientale e dell’Asia meridionale e sud-orientale. Attraverso l’implementazione di metodi innovativi basati sul concetto di abitabilità, si cercherà di capire fino a che punto i cambiamenti climatici portano alla migrazione e come il clima influisce sulle politiche e sulle percezioni che interagiscono tra loro per influenzare i modelli migratori. Il progetto introdurrà il concetto di punti critici sociali che consentono di comprendere ulteriormente come le variazioni ambientali possano potenzialmente innescare cambiamenti sociali.

Obiettivo

The HABITABLE project is centred around the concept of habitability and seeks to advance our understanding of how climate change does and will affect migration and displacement patterns. It does so through the mobilisation of innovative methods to explore key research gaps, implemented by a diverse, experienced consortium associating 21 partners from different disciplines and representing a number of regions of the world, including local partners from West Africa, East Africa, South Africa and Southeast Asia. The project seeks to understand not only how climate change causes migration, but also how climate impacts, policies and perceptions interact with each other and influence migration patterns in a systems-based approach. We introduce the concept of social tipping points as a fresh way to understand how environmental disruptions can potentially trigger major social changes. The project intentionally steers away from simple linearity assumptions in an innovative research design that will focus on the entire social-ecological system, accounting for climate impacts and their perceptions, as well as adaptation options and their implementation, in order to determine the conditions for social tipping points and sustainable policy options for preventing large-scale displacement. The project mobilizes fresh methodologies and datasets in case-studies in Africa and Asia that are relevant for European policy-making. The project pursues a non-deterministic understanding of the impact of climate change on migration, and enables a systematic comprehension and appreciation of the complex social, economic and environmental interactions involved. This allows us to develop policy-relevant migration scenarios. On this basis, the project will propose a number of adaptation options for populations affected by climate change, as well as recommendations to inform key policies, in particular the European Agenda on Migration.
