In one of the world’s wealthiest cities, PATH examines how climate pressures and housing insecurity intersect for international migrants. We work through storytelling, movement, and community-led methods — including the embodied approaches explored at Adaptation Futures 2025.

PATH works alongside residents of Pholani and other informal settlements to understand everyday realities of housing precarity and flood risk — co-developing adaptation strategies that centre community knowledge, local governance, and social justice.

Movement from rural Sindhupalchok to Kathmandu creates complex challenges around housing, safety, and wellbeing. PATH bridges community knowledge and policy insights to support safer, more resilient urban futures for people navigating life between rural and urban worlds.

Precarious housing in Nunavut threatens Inuit health and wellbeing — contributing to overcrowding, food insecurity, and disease. PATH develops solutions grounded in local knowledge, Inuit food sovereignty, and Arctic resilience, working alongside communities in Iqaluit.

The Global Hub connects insights across all four sites to understand cross-cutting patterns of mobility, housing, and climate adaptation. Based at Carleton University, it provides coordination, synthesis, and leadership for the whole project.
