WP8 will analyse and mainstream the gendered and social equity dimensions of the climate-migration nexus throughout the project.
WP8 will apply a gender and social equity lens throughout the whole project, focusing on the gendered dimension of the concepts used in other WPs. Questionnaires and other data collection methods will be reviewed to ensure that gender and social equity are integrated. Then, WP8 will investigate the type, extent and dimensions of gendered causes and impacts of migration in the context of environmental change. In this context, semi-structured interviews and focus groups will be organized. Lastly, WP8 will formulate gender-sensitive policy recommendations to lessen the adverse impacts of environmental migrations for those most vulnerable. To achieve this objective, Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping – one of HABITABLE’s primary research methods – will be used to analyse if the gendered causes and impacts of migration are similar across different environmental hazards, drawing on findings from WP2 and WP6.
HABITABLE aims to significantly advance our understanding of the current interlinkages between climate impacts and migration and displacement patterns, in order to better anticipate their future evolutions.
