Climate, Health Impacts and Migration: Understanding Patterns and Building Resilience in the Anthropocene
Abstract:
The effects of climate migration are already being felt across the globe. Providing tools – in conversation with practitioners who would use them – can aid in better planning and management of what has already proven to be a chaotic and unpredictable dynamic. In this talk, I explore an initiative to bring together social and data scientists, policymakers and practitioners to understand the contexts of displacement and the multifaceted nature of impacts on individuals, communities and host sites for refugees and to support all in addressing this global crisis.
Speaker Bio:
Pablo Bose is a migration and urban studies scholar in the Department of Geography and Geosciences and Director of Global and Regional Studies at the University of Vermont. He also serves as the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Arts and Sciences and is a Fellow of the Gund Institute for Environment, a member of the Food Systems Program, and the Sustainable Development Policy Economics and Governance graduate program. His research focuses on four main areas – refugee resettlement in North America and Europe, environmental and forced displacement across the world (with a special focus on the effects of climate change), cities of the Global South, and food security and sovereignty in diverse communities. His work on migration and secondary cities is featured in Refugees in New Destinations and Small Cities: Resettlement in Vermont (Palgrave MacMillan, 2020) while his earlier work on Indian cities can be found in Urban Development in India: Global Indians in the Remaking of Kolkata (Routledge 2015). Other recent publications focus on food politics, the ethics of research with refugee communities, climate change and refugee camps, and comparative resettlement experiences in the US, Canada and Europe. He is currently completing a monograph titled Critical Geographies of Migration.
