This paper provides an original conceptual framework examining whether and how natural disasters exert any influence on nuptiality by drawing on socio-psychology and economics literature contributions.
This study is developed particularly to support the Ecuadorian Red Cross (ERC) in building a social vulnerability index. Combined with hazard and exposure information, the social vulnerability index will be used as an input for impact-based forecasts for flash-floods, and to inform flash flood early action protocol at the administrative level 3 (Parroquia) in Ecuador.
The authors investigate relationships between disaster-level fire events and extreme heat on county-level migration in the USA using annual panel data for the years 1990–2015.
The study builds on a comprehensive household survey on REDD+ activities and livelihoods in two districts (three communes) in upland Lao Cai province in northern Vietnam as it examines the implications of climate‐related interventions for ethnic minority communities in the highlands of Vietnam, as they are caught in the conflicting development logics between the international donor community, vowing to defend their interests, and the Vietnamese government administration.
Focusing on Tajikistan, through the analysis of Poverty‐Environment Initiative (PEI) programme documents and stakeholders’ interviews, this article probes into the governance and governance co‐ordination (metagovernance) settings for Sustainable Development.
While many other environmental problems cry for a need for data and better scientific analysis, these needs are most urgent for the topic discussed in this monograph. Four components are needed for an integrated and balanced policy. They are:, Improvement in the Quality of Life; Attention to Population Dynamics and Policies; Good Forest and Land Management Policies; and Attention to Measures at the Regional, National and International Level.
Results form this study show that when strengthening climate risk management practices or designing adaptation interventions, gender should be taken into account as it can influence risk-taking and decision-making.
Drawing on household survey data from nine communities in north-central Colorado, this study applies five migrant–non-migrant classification methods to examine how the differences/similarities between the migrants and non-migrants (or ‘‘newcomers’’ and ‘‘oldtimers’’) may vary across different approaches.
Using individual survey data from a migrant-sending area in highland Peru where the population experiences negative health and livelihood impacts from climate-related phenomena, this research applies behavioural migration theory to examine the extent to which immobile populations experiencing environmental degradation exercise agency with respect to location and, in doing so, elucidates what it means to be trapped.
This study examines self-reported household impacts of atypical rainy and dry seasons, with a focus on gender by usig data collected from women and men in the same randomly sampled households.
