A Structured Dataset of Climate Displacement Events in South Asia
Climate Displacement Lab is a data-centric research initiative that produces structured, event-level data on climate displacement across South Asia, capturing how environmental hazards drive displacement at the local level, including where these dynamics intersect with governance conditions and land pressures, to inform policy, research, and climate adaptation.

Studying the changes on ground
Integrating satellite observation with event-based data to understand how environmental change drives displacement across South Asia.
Methodological Approach
CDL combines satellite imagery with structured event-level data to trace how displacement unfolds across landscapes. Environmental change is observed through temporal comparison, while displacement dynamics are documented using verified reports and humanitarian data.
This approach connects physical processes such as erosion and flooding with real human movement patterns.
