Handbook for Qualitative Interviews on the Climate-Migration Nexus

This handbook describes the methodology of database design for qualitative, semi-structured interviews on climate change and migration. It was originally designed to serve as a reference for PIK researchers and their partners working on the project HABITABLE: Linking Climate Change, Habitability and Social Tipping Points, especially the Country Teams and their teams from the six case study countries. This practical handbook has been modified for a wider audience to foster exchange of experience and further refinement in methodologies to research the interactions of environmental change and human mobility. This handbook is intended to have a wider application for qualitative research on environment-migration linkages. It can be a reference point for students, researchers, and practitioners. We encourage others to use our protocol as a template, and refine this methodology to create comparative data in different cases worldwide.
