By how much do weather and conflict shocks affect displacement in #Somalia?🏃💥☀️ @MoritzPSchwarz, @FelixPretis and I put numbers to annecdotes and show intervention points for humanitarian aid.
Thanks @UniofOxford for highlighting our @GEC_Journal study: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
NEW RESEARCH: A 1°C temperature rise can cause a tenfold increase in displaced people.
Reseachers studied the effects of conflict, weather, and drought on forced displacement in Somalia.

In 2022, flooding displaced millions of people in Pakistan. An international team of researchers used open data and tools to help understand differences in vulnerability to floods and better predict displacement in the future.

Climate attribution science could help predict future disasters — and help people avoid being forced from their homes, says @ClimateLisa

Attributing migration to human-caused climate change isn’t as simple as you might think

As COP29 draws to a close, a new politics of climate resilient development is more urgent than ever putting social justice and ecosystem stewardship at the core, engaging all of society. See our new paper out today in @NatureClimate nature.com/articles/s41558-0…
Important work on heat in cities, led by a fellow #YSSP and my former advisors at @IIASAVienna.
🌡️Over 47,000 people died from heat in Europe in 2023, and this could triple by the end of the century. A new study helps predict heat stress vulnerability in cities, guiding leaders in creating better strategies to protect public health. #ClimateAction #HeatStress

Great cohort of young talents gathering at the 3rd #Como trainingschool on statistical modelling of @Compound_Event|s
Big thanks to organisers and contributors C. DeMichele, P. Rivoire, @ZscheischlerJak, @Bevacqua_E, @giodc3 @ManuelaIBrunner, @ClimateLisa, @ks905383 among many
Ever wondered about displacement numbers? Let's take the 2022 Pakistan floods: We apply open-source data to a climate-vulnerability impact model to ground truth the model numbers (hint: most are wrong) & find out the role of urbanisation.📝@EarthsFutureEiC tinyurl.com/2022Pakistan
Work led by @ManniePMKam and colleagues, supervised by me and @radleyhorton as part of the Como training school on statistical modeling of @Compound_Event|s.
Important remarks and lessons learnt on modeling climate related migration at the @GCCMobility #ClimateWeek #Climatesummit.

Deadly rainfall in Central Europe twice as likely due to our continued burning of fossil fuels - @WWAttribution study. Early warning meant deaths were avoided, but plans to strengthen flood defences have been implemented way too slowly.

📢📢This NEW PAPER aims to help with research design for local assessments of #LossAndDamage from #ClimateChange.
It's part of an edited book, which unfortunately will only become open access in 12 months. If you want a copy, please email me.

I recently talked to @ZDF about #climatechange impacts and migration. Causality is a tricky one. With more frequent & intense heat waves, floods & droughts, fewer people in Global South (and North!) will likely be able to move out of harm's way. #immobility
The weather was on our side for day 1 of the #FFVTsummerschool on Climate (im)mobility. Looking forward to day 2 here in Nuremberg. ✨
