The uneven burden of Covid-19 in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil – Risk analysis from a bottom-up perspective
Brazil was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and cases and mortality data had problems of timeliness and correctness, hindering risk analysis. We have implemented a mixed-methods approach providing data interoperability to understand the relationship between risk and inequality. We implement a GIS-based risk score and focus groups in São Paulo. The risk score includes age structure, social vulnerability, and behavior. The COVID-19 risk …

Simulating exposure-related human mobility behavior at the neighborhood-level under Covid-19 in Porto Alegre, Brazil
One year of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Global South: Uneven vulnerabilities in Brazilian cities
The first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil provided one of the most severe examples of its impacts on health and society. The country had death rates above the global average and acute impacts in increased unemployment, poverty, and threats to food security marked along ethnic and social lines. This study asks how different degrees of vulnerability between Brazilian cities lead to varying survival probabilities of their population in the p…
Unequal Landscapes: Vulnerability Traps in Informal Settlements of the Jacuí River Delta (Brazil)
How just are risk responses that worsen vulnerability in the long term? Should the urban poor be left with self-reliance when facing hazards in the Anthropocene? This research investigates urban development and vulnerability in the Anthropocene. While it is known that informal settlements face greater hazards than most urbanized areas, there are different landscapes of risk. The analysis explores divergent risk-response strategies among household…
Pathways to water conflict during drought in the Mena region
As hydro-meteorological hazards are predicted to become more frequent and intense in the future, scholars and policymakers are increasingly concerned about their security implications, especially in the context of ongoing climate change. Our study contributes to this debate by analysing the pathways to water-related conflict onset under drought conditions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region between 1996 and 2009. It is also the firs…
Digital Humanitarianism and the Visual Politics of the Refugee Camp: (Un)Seeing Control
Digital visual technologies have become an important tool of humanitarian governance. They allow the monitoring of crises from afar, making it possible to detect human rights violations and refugee movements, despite a crisis area being inaccessible. However, the political effects of such 'digital humanitarianism' are understudied. This article aims to amend this gap by analyzing which forms of seeing, showing, and governing refugee camps are ena…
Climate Change, Security Risks, and Violent Conflicts: Essays from Integrated Climate Research in Hamburg
Research on security-related aspects of climate change is an important element of climate change impact assessments. Hamburg has become a globally recognized center of pertinent analysis of the climate-conflict-nexus. The essays in this collection present a sample of the research conducted from 2009 to 2018 within an interdisciplinary cooperation of experts from Universität Hamburg and other institutions in Hamburg related to the research group "…
