Climate Change Adaptation and Protection from Natural Hazards: Capacity Building for People with Migration Background in Austria

The project CCCapMig aims at exploring the knowledge and risk perception of migrant groups about climate change and natural hazards in Austria. Its objectives are to close the research gap on this topic and to develop target-group oriented measures and recommendations for enhancing the capacity of migrant groups to adapt to climate change and strengthen disaster risk reduction in the context of natural hazards on individual and community level. The focus of the project lies on water-related natural hazards which will very likely change due to climate change. CCCapMig is designed as a cross-analysis of several embedded case studies combining quantitative and qualitative methods from social, spatial and engineering sciences.
