Workshop: “Connecting human mobility and loss and damage: Insights from the HABITABLE project”

The agenda on human mobility in the context of climate change (HMCCC) is currently being shaped by important developments at European and international level, including the upcoming European elections and international climate negotiations and fund on loss and damage. What role can scientific research play in shaping these debates?

In the upcoming workshop “Connecting human mobility and loss and damage: Insights from the HABITABLE project”, adelphi, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and The Hugo Observatory at the University of Liège would like to warmly invite you to explore this question and others with them. They will share key messages emerging from the empirical, policy, and scenarios work from HABITABLE, the largest ever EU-funded research project on the topic of climate-related migration and displacement.

The HABITABLE project revolves around the concept of habitability and explores social tipping points for migration with the aim of more fully understanding the thresholds for habitability (or the loss of habitability). The emerging findings of the project are supported by empirical field work across seven African and Asian countries, extensive interviews, and collaborative workshops, covering a range of different methodological approaches, with the final aim of better informing policymaking.
