IMBRACE
Embracing Immigrant Knowledges for Just Climate Health Adaptation
A research project funded by the European Research Council that analyzes the nexus between climate change, health, and immigration.
Climate change, human health and migration are arguably the most challenging issues of our times, with important implications for justice. Studies on the nexus of these issues have largely focused on climate change as a push-factor for migration, rather than on understanding how and why climate is impacting the health of migrants in places of migration destination, or on migrants as actors and knowledge holders on climate adaptation.
The IMBRACE research project examines what shapes immigrants’ climate health vulnerability and how their situated knowledges and practices can inform both their own response capacities and urban climate adaptation more broadly, towards more effective and just approaches.
