Excited and grateful to launch my ERC project #SOCIO-CLIMP 🌍🌤️

The project explores how #ClimateChange and #EnvironmentalHazards unequally affect different socio-demographic groups 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 across Europe — combining spatial climate data with demographic detail to uncover patterns of #ClimateInjustice.

New in Social Forces: Breathing Unequal Air😷

Our study shows that immigrant minorities in England & Germany face higher air pollution exposure🏭—and moving doesn’t help🚶. In England, disparities are 3x larger than in Germany

Die Abbildung zeigt die Entwicklung der Mietkostenbelastung zwischen 1990 und 2020 am obersten und untersten Quintil der Einkommensverteilung. Am oberen Ende der Verteilung blieb die Mietkostenbelastung relativ stabil, am unteren Ende der Verteilung stieg die Belastung an. Bei Zugewanderten mit niedrigen Einkommen war die Steigerung von niedrigem Niveau kommend besonders ausgeprägt.

Zunehmend ungleiche Mietkostenbelastung

• Mietkostenbelastung insbesondere für Personen mit Niedrigeinkommen angestiegen
• Ungleichheit der Mietkostenbelastung bei Zugewanderten stärker angestiegen
• Realeinkommensverluste bei Personen mit Niedrigeinkommen

Neighbourhood structure and environmental quality: A fine-grained analysis of spatial inequalities in urban Germany - Christian König, 2024 Urban environments are characterised by sparsity of space, elevated levels of air pollution and limited exposure to natural environments. Yet, residential envir...

Happy to share that my paper on neighborhood environmental inequalities in Germany is now published in Urban Studies.

Key finding: foreign minorities are exposed to less green space 🌳 but more industrial air pollution 🏭 around their homes.

New study by @conteristo.bsky.social on Italian Schools reveals improving air quality trends (35% since 2002). Middle socioeconomic status areas exhibit highest PM2.5 exposure, persisting despite overall improvement, posing #health risks to children.

It unpacks the link between extreme weather events, climate beliefs, and behaviour. Spoiler alert: belief shifts happen, but actions? 🤔
