We carry out detailed vulnerability and resilience analyses in selected villages in rural Thailand

Our aim is to understand the influence of migration and translocal networks on the ability of households to respond to climatic risks

We focus on the everyday dynamics of translocality and translocal social practices of migrants who are rooted in multiple localities

We are interested in understanding the governance context of the climate-migration-adaptation nexus at the local, national, and international level

Our research group 'Environment. Migration. Resilience' offers a fresh perspective on the environment-migration nexus. It starts from the assumption that, regardless of the accuracy of the projections of future environmental changes, migration is already occuring and will continue to be a major dynamic of global change. We seek to interrogate how migration-induced intensifying translocal relations alter the environment and the capacity to deal with environmental changes in the places of origin of migrants.
