Lauren Grant is Founding Director at the International School on Climate Migration and Director of Field Research at Earth Refuge, the planet's first legal think tank dedicated to climate migrants. She is also a Research Associate at the Global Centre for Climate Mobility. Her background is in gender, critical race and ethnic studies and human rights law, with a focus on the socio-economic rights of Indigenous communities, coloniality, genocide and (gender-based) violence. Lauren's current research explores violence, conflict, (under)development and climate change as multi-causal drivers of forced displacement in East and the Horn of Africa, South Asia and Latin America, as well as their consequences for livelihoods, development, socio-economic rights, justice and sustainable peace. Her current projects examine the legal gaps in protection for cross-border and internally-displaced climate migrants, and the taxonomies, temporalities and drivers of displacement as they affect agriculturally-dependent communities, families and individuals. Her research also investigate the value of sustainable agricultural development as a mitigation and adaptation strategy with capacity to slow, halt or deter displacement related to slow and rapid on-set climate change impacts.
