The Climate Migration research group is dedicated to addressing the complex and multifaceted challenges posed by climate-induced migration. As global climate change continues to reshape migration patterns, the need for comprehensive research, informed policy analysis, and effective community engagement becomes ever more critical.
This research group aims to establish a robust foundation for interdisciplinary collaboration, impactful research, and meaningful policy advocacy.

The research group is co-led by Dr. Jemima Baada, Assistant Professor of Geography, and Dr. Farrukh Ahmed Chishtie, President of Peaceful Society, Science and Innovation Foundation.
