Reports
2023 African Shifts: Addressing Climate-Forced Migration. (February 2023, 242 pages, 19 MB PDF.) This report from the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) depicts African people’s experience of climate vulnerability and presents possible scenarios for movements due to climate impacts. CIESIN contributed to the report by producing spatially explicit projections of both internal and international mobility that may occur from climate impacts, within and among African countries, up to the year 2050. This modelling builds on the innovative approaches of the World Bank’s Groundswell series of reports, for which CIESIN worked with City University of New York and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
2022

Brief: Climate Migration in Mexican and Central American Cities. (February 2022, 28 pages, 2.42 MB PDF). This report presents estimates drawn from the important and growing body of research that projects possible climate migration futures at the regional or country scales. Until now, these models have not specifically been applied to urban areas, the primary destination of international and internal migrants and home to 70 percent of the world’s refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and stateless people. CIESIN contributed original research.

2021

 Internal Climate Migration in the Lake Victoria Basin CountriesInternal Climate Migration in West African Countries. (November 2021, 222 pages, 18 KB PDF; and 296 pages, 16 KB PDF). A sequel to the 2018 Groundswell report, the Groundswell Africa series complements the recently released Groundswell II report (see below) by providing in-depth analysis on potential scale and spread of internal climate migration in West Africa and the Lake Victoria Basin, with country level analysis for Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda.

Groundswell Part 2: Acting on Internal Climate Migration (September 2021, 362 pages, 26.98 MB PDF). This report by CIESIN and the World Bank, CUNY Institute for Demographic Research, and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research projects increased numbers of people moving within their countries of the developing world—as many as 216 million internal migrants by 2050. Hotspots of internal migration will emerge as soon as 2030, spreading and intensifying thereafter. The research improves and extends the pioneering modeling approach of the previous World Bank Groundswell report from 2018, which covered Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, now focusing on three new regions—North Africa, Central America, and the Lower Mekong—and including reviews of climate migration issues for small island developing states (SIDS) and the Middle East. 

Task Force Report to the President on the Climate Crisis and Global Migration: A Pathway to Protection for People on the Move (July 2021, 34 pages, 817 KB PDF). An outcome of a presidential task force, this report recommends increased funding and expansion of supportive policies to address global migration resulting from the climate change crisis. Alex de Sherbinin, CIESIN senior research scientist and associate director for Science Applications, is among 14 experts from the federal government, the United Nations, and nonprofit agencies, including climate scientists, appointed to the task force, which was formed in response to a Biden administration Executive Order on February 4.

Trzaska, S., E. Boytinck, A. de Sherbinin, S. Smith, and A-L.White. April 2020. Review of Coastal Adaptation Practices in Developing Countries. A report led by CIESIN, published under contract with Tetra Tech for the USAID West Africa Biodiversity and Climate Change (WA BiCC) project, reviews best practices for coastal adaptation in developing countries. See also http://www.ciesin.columbia.edu/wa-bicc/ for more information and publications related to the WA BiCC project.

A Living Manual for Climate Information for Adaptation Planning (May 2020, online). This living manual written by CIESIN researchers is intended for those preparing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) or specific adaptation interventions, offering guidance for using climate information in the context of adaptation planning. The material was developed in the context of a coastal adaptation project in West Africa—the USAID-funded West Africa Biodiversity and Climate Change project—but recommended for anyone interested in the application of climate information for adaptation planning and development interventions. This web-based resource is called a “living manual” since the contents have been updated based on the needs and feedback of participants in a series of country workshops held in the West Africa region.

Environmental Performance Index 2020 (July 2020, 220 pages, 14 MB pdf). Produced every two years by a research team from the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and CIESIN, Columbia University, the EPI ranks country performance on high-priority environmental issues in two broad policy areas, protection of human health from environmental harm, and protection of ecosystems. The 2020 EPI uses 32 performance indicators across 11 issue categories to compare 180 countries.

2019 Climate Emergency, Urban Opportunity. (September 2019, 160 pages, 14 MB PDF). A report from the Coalition for Urban Transitions finds that, because sea level rise exacerbates flooding and storm surge, it is a critical threat to urban coastal areas. Research and analysis by Columbia University’s CIESIN contributed to the new findings, based on an updated version of the Low Elevation Coastal Zone Urban Rural Population Estimates. This data set was the outcome of a 2007 study by a team from CIESIN and the International Institute for Environment and Development, which provided the first global estimates of impacts to urban populations from sea level rise.
2018

Groundswell: Preparing for Internal Migration. (March 2018, 256 pages, 63.59 MB PDF.) This report by World Bank staff and a team of researchers at CIESIN, the City University of New York Institute for Demographic Research, and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research is the first to focus on longer-term climate impacts on crop and water resources and the ways in which they may influence internal migration. It employs a novel modeling framework that provides estimates not only of future numbers, but also likely hotspots of climate out-migration and in-migration in three regions: Mexico and Central America, East Africa, and South Asia. Unlike other recent efforts to model the impact of future climate change on population movements, this effort models across entire regions rather than at local or subnational levels. It is also based upon impacts on crop production and water resources, using model outputs from PIK’s ISIMIP project, rather than projected temperature and precipitation from global climate models.

2018 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) (February 2018, 200 pages, 11.49 MB PDF). Produced every two years by a research team from the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and CIESIN, Columbia University, the EPI ranks country performance on high-priority environmental issues in two broad policy areas, protection of human health from environmental harm, and protection of ecosystems. The 2018 EPI assesses 180 countries.

Global Assessment of Light Pollution Impact on Protected Areas. (January 2010, 30 pages, 4.27 MB PDF.) This working paper produced by CIESIN and AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH examines the impacts of light pollution and approximate human influence on protected areas. It uses spatial indicators based on satellite-observed nighttime lights data acquired by the U.S. Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) and protected area distribution information provided by UNEP’s World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC). This research takes a more general approach than previous analyses of the ecological consequences of artificial night lighting, which focus on adverse effects on light-sensitive ecosystems or species. This paper underscores the need for accurate and consistent spatial data on a global scale and can help to indicate which protected areas globally and nationally are at greatest risk of human activities. It is also an important step towards public communication and raising general awareness on the topic of light pollution.

In 2005 the Population and Development Branch of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) asked CIESIN to undertake a study that would help the agency identify its strategic advantage for addressing urban poverty and sustainable development. In close collaboration with UNFPA, CIESIN produced a background paper, conducted a survey of UNFPA country offices, and organized a workshop attended by distinguished experts on urban population, poverty, and sustainable development. This report represents a distillation of all three elements.  
2004 Global Spatial Data and Information: Development, Dissemination and Use. (September 2004). This report represents the proceedings of a workshop, held from 21-23 September, 2004, in Palisades, NY. The workshop brought a core set of institutions actively involved in global spatial data and information development and dissemination together with representatives of key user communities to address both short- and long-term needs for coordination and collaboration. The overall purpose of the workshop was to coordinate spatial data and information dissemination among key actors in the global data community in order to better meet user needs at global as well as regional and national levels. Workshop presentations are available online.
