What if the path to clean energy comes at the cost of people’s homes? 🏞️

Our new scoping review by Marlena Niedl explores how the rush for cobalt, copper & other critical minerals in the DRC is driving displacement—and why energy transition must also mean justice.

#WindowFriday with a view of the Gulf of Thailand.
It is so nice to be back in this country, which has inspired much of my research.
Today, we spoke with migrant workers from Myanmar, who are increasingly establishing local roots in #Thailand due to the protracted conflict in #Myanmar.

Climate mobility isn't just theory—it's dusty roads, dry wells and tough decisions. @hasterly.bsky.social gives us insights on how pastoralists face rising climate stress as age-old migration patterns come under pressure.
