Using unique survey data from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), the paper examines whether men and women differ in their views regarding their support for climate policy and in undertaking climate action in their everyday lives.
Using well location data and population characteristics from the American Community Survey, this study documents the prevalence of historically marginalized populations (across age, income, education, race-ethnicity, and language) living near active oil and gas wells throughout the USA, at both local and aggregated scales.
This article analyzed the effect of the political empowerment of women on vulnerability to climate change in 169 countries for the period 1995–2017.
The Middle East and North Africa Region encapsulates many of the issues surrounding water and human mobility. It is the most water-scarce region in the world and is experiencing unprecedented levels of forced displacement. Ebb and Flow: Volume 2. Water in the Shadow of Conflict in the Middle East and North Africa examines the links between water risks (harmful outcomes related to water, from droughts and floods to lack of sanitation), conflict, and forced displacement.
This sequel to the Groundswell report includes projections and analysis of internal climate migration for three new regions: East Asia and the Pacific, North Africa, and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Qualitative analyses of climate-related mobility in countries of the Mashreq and in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are also provided. This new report builds on the scenario-based modeling approach of the previous Groundswell report from 2018, which covered Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.
In this Review, the authors develop a conceptual model to guide research on the three-way nexus between climate vulnerability, migration, and health. The authors apply their conceptual model to a range of case studies, including Bangladesh, Mexico, Myanmar, and the USA to illustrate that climate vulnerability-migration-health interlinkages are context specific, varying by political, economic, demographic, social, and environmental factors unique to each population and place.
The 2020 edition of the Atlas of the Human Planet presents policy-relevant examples provided by users of Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) products. Following a call for contribution, 34 showcases cover the domains of disaster risk reduction and crisis management, environment, urbanisation, and sustainable development.
The paper examines the suitability of Twitter data for measuring post-disaster population mobility using the case of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
The objective of the paper is to characterize hurricane-related changes in phthalate exposures and experiences within the Puerto Rico Testsite for Exploring Contamination Threats (PROTECT) cohort.
Using 2010-2016 data from the Puerto Rico Vital Statistics System to estimate monthly excess deaths in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane which struck the island in September of 2017, the study clarifies the distinction between direct and indirect effects of disasters such as Hurricane María.
