  • A comparison of social vulnerability indices specific to flooding in Ecuador

    Open AccessAgathe Bucherie, Carolynne Hultquist et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2022

    Social vulnerability is a key component of the risk equation alongside the context of the hazard and exposure. Increasingly, social vulnerability indices are used to better understand and predict the consequences of disasters, and support the development of improved disaster management policies. Humanitarian organisations particularly strive to capture social vulnerability in their decision processes relative to prioritisation of actions before d…

  • Groundswell Africa

    Kanta Kumari Rigaud, Alex De Sherbinin et al.BOOK2021

    Between its natural wealth with diverse cultures, increasingly rapid urbanization, and some of the world’s most impressive wildlife, Tanzania strikes visitors as a country of diversity and dynamism. At the same time, the country is facing challenges from climate change that will put its people, policymakers, and ecosystems to a test. Migration has long been a strategy of Tanzanians to deal with adverse climatic conditions, but as this report illu…

  • Groundswell Africa

    Open AccessKanta Kumari Rigaud, Alex De Sherbinin et al.BOOK2021

    The World Bank’s flagship report, Groundswell: Preparing for Internal Climate Migration (Rigaud et al. 2018), and the sequel (Clement et al. 2021), finds that that Sub-Saharan Africa is likely to witness high levels of climate-induced mobility. An expanded and deeper analysis through Groundswell Africa, focusing on West African countries, reaffirms this pattern region (Rigaud et al. 2021a). The recent study projects that by 2050, without concrete…

  • Groundswell Africa

    Open AccessKanta Kumari Rigaud, Alex De Sherbinin et al.BOOK2021

    This report, as part of the Groundswell Africa series, reaffirms the potency for climate change to drive internal migration in West African countries. The results described in this report are based on the application of an enhanced version of the pioneering Groundswell model with a more granular analysis and additional features better placed to inform policy dialogue and action. The study finds that without concrete climate and development action…

  • Groundswell Africa

    Open AccessKanta Kumari Rigaud, Alex De Sherbinin et al.BOOK2021

    This report, as part of the Groundswell Africa series, reaffirms the potency for climate change to drive internal migration in the Lake Victoria Basin. The results described in this report are based on the application of an enhanced version of the pioneering Groundswell model with a more granular analysis and additional features better placed to inform policy dialogue and action. Without concrete climate and development action, the five Lake Vict…

An expanded and deeper analysis through Groundswell Africa, focusing on West African countries, reaffirms this pattern region.

  • Groundswell Part 2

    Open AccessViviane Clément, Kanta Kumari Rigaud et al.BOOK2021

    This sequel to the Groundswell report includes projections and analysis of internal climate migration for three new regions: East Asia and the Pacific, North Africa, and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Qualitative analyses of climate-related mobility in countries of the Mashreq and in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are also provided. This new report builds on the scenario-based modeling approach of the previous Groundswell report from 201…

  • Groundswell

    Kanta Kumari Rigaud, Alex De Sherbinin et al.BOOK2018

    This report, which focuses on three regions—Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America that together represent 55 percent of the developing world’s population—finds that climate change will push tens of millions of people to migrate within their countries by 2050. It projects that without concrete climate and development action, just over 143 million people—or around 2.8 percent of the population of these three regions—could be forced to m…

  • A Quantitative Evaluation of the Multiple Narratives of the Recent Sahelian Regreening

    Mimi Stith, Alessandra Giannini et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2016

    A spatial analysis is presented that aims to synthesize the evidence for climate and social dimensions of the “regreening” of the Sahel. Using an independently constructed archival database of donor-funded interventions in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Senegal in response to the persistence of drought in the 1970s and 1980s, the spatial distribution of these interventions is examined in relation to population density and to trends in precipitati…

  • Migration and risk

    Open AccessAlex De Sherbinin, Marc A Levy et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2012

    The potential for altered ecosystems and extreme weather events in the context of climate change has raised questions concerning the role that migration plays in either increasing or reducing risks to society. Using modeled data on net migration over three decades from 1970 to 2000, we identify sensitive ecosystems and regions at high risk of climate hazards that have seen high levels of net in-migration and out-migration over the time period. Th…
