Description

Asia-Pacific Perspectives on Homelessness and Climate Change. Employing an Asia-Pacific perspective from Cambodia and India, this project aims to understand how homeless people, as the most vulnerable segment of society, have also been the hardest hit by ongoing climate disasters. The research is significant for the comparative regional lens it will offer on the lived experiences of homeless people during times of acute and systemic vulnerability. The study will explore how and why people continue to slip through the cracks, particularly during climate crisis scenarios, and into life on the streets as a result of inadequate social supports that could be afforded to secure livelihoods.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4406 - Human Geography. Lead: Prof Simon Springer
