Excited and grateful to launch my ERC project #SOCIO-CLIMP 🌍🌤️
The project explores how #ClimateChange and #EnvironmentalHazards unequally affect different socio-demographic groups 🧑🤝🧑 across Europe — combining spatial climate data with demographic detail to uncover patterns of #ClimateInjustice.
Less than a week to apply for this POSTDOC on climate migration with network models! In the sunniest and most joyful places in Europe!

Die Abbildung zeigt die Entwicklung der Mietkostenbelastung zwischen 1990 und 2020 am obersten und untersten Quintil der Einkommensverteilung. Am oberen Ende der Verteilung blieb die Mietkostenbelastung relativ stabil, am unteren Ende der Verteilung stieg die Belastung an. Bei Zugewanderten mit niedrigen Einkommen war die Steigerung von niedrigem Niveau kommend besonders ausgeprägt.
