Health and Migration

Health and Migration

Promoting well-being in the context of rapidly changing material conditions involves assessing adaptation strategies like human migration and reducing future risks to human health.

Our work

We conduct empirical research and modeling to evaluate the current impacts and future projections on human health and displacement associated with climate change, air pollution, and natural resource availability. Additionally, we analyze the effects on the labor force and the spread of infectious diseases. Our approach incorporates satellite data and ground-based observations to assess the exposure and vulnerability of various social groups. We also examine the effectiveness of climate policies and their co-benefits.
