The Climate Change Research Group is dedicated to understanding and advocating for communities endangered by environmental and human-induced changes. These communities, often marginalized or indigenous, are increasingly facing threats due to a combination of factors such as climate change, armed conflict, desertification, rising sea levels, infrastructural developments, and extractive industries like mining and logging. Such dynamics not only displace communities from their ancestral lands but also disrupt their livelihoods, cultures, and long-standing relationship with their environment.

This research group seeks to map and record the current status of these communities with a focus on their geography, environmental conditions, historical background, economic activities, and existing infrastructure. By compiling detailed, data-driven profiles, we aim to highlight the uniqueness and vulnerabilities of each group. These records become essential tools in advocating for their rights, whether they are being considered for relocation, compensation, or protection under national and international environmental and human rights frameworks.

Understanding their history and contributions to environmental stewardship also strengthens the case for justice and sustainability. This work supports the idea that relocation, if necessary, should not be a forced erasure but a dignified, participatory process where displaced communities retain their cultural identity and access to livelihood. The data can also serve as a foundation for climate adaptation strategies and legal claims for compensation or restoration. Ultimately, the Climate Change Research Group stands as a bridge between endangered communities and stakeholders responsible for just and inclusive environmental governance.
