The SES’s work spans climate science, mitigation, adaptation, and resilience-building action, loss and damage, climate governance, policy, and finance across local, national, and global scales.
This work focuses on:
Global, national, and state-level climate policy and practice.
Effective, widespread, and sustained adaptation strategies to reduce climate vulnerability, climate-induced migration, and equity, resilience, and justice.
Climate finance and other enabling conditions to accelerate system-level climate transitions.
Featured Projects
Intersections of just energy transition and climate-induced migration in India (2023-2026)This project seeks to understand and address climate-induced migration in India to promote equity, resilience, and justice. It will shape a research and practice agenda by conducting strategic case studies to explore the drivers, mechanisms, experiences, and outcomes sustaining climate-induced migration amid rapid economic development and climate change. It is being conducted in partnership with DEFT, and funded by the MacArthur Foundation and Population Council.
Scoping study of human migration and displacement within India (2023-present)This project examines the intersection of climate change and migration through case studies in Bengaluru and Kochi, focusing on how weather hazards affect migrant workers in cities. It investigates whether hazards are amplified for migrants, how exposure intersects with socio-economic vulnerability, and the mobility pathways of households and individuals. The project was funded by Population Council.
