Variables for Analyzing Potential Drivers of Climate (Im)Mobilities in Brazil

This dataset brings together socio-demographic, environmental and institutional variables at the municipal level to assist researchers in analyzing climate (im)mobilities in Brazil. It does not directly measure mobility flows but offers a set of indicators for the analysis of potential drivers of mobility and immobility in the context of climate-related risks and events. The dataset contains 27 composite climate risk indicators, measuring exposure, vulnerability, sensitivity, adaptive capacity and hazards related to water and food security. It also offers 56 variables on disaster events from 1991 to 2024, including event identification, human damages (displaced and affected populations), material and environmental damages, and public and private economic losses. The dataset includes 75 variables on risk management, institutional capacity, and environmental legislation, including risk management actions, civil defense activities, and the capacity of municipalities to respond to climate-related hazards. These are supplemented by 181 socio-demographic variables, including housing characteristics, population structure, literacy, race/ethnicity, characteristics of household heads, and income. All data are harmonized at the municipal level, covering 5,570 municipalities. This dataset provides a foundation for the development of future conceptual frameworks and empirical studies on how structural conditions, environmental pressures, and institutional capacities might influence patterns of climate (im)mobility.本数据集整合了市级层面的社会人口、环境与制度变量，旨在助力研究人员分析巴西的气候流动与非流动（climate (im)mobilities）。本数据集并未直接测算流动规模，而是提供了一系列指标，用于分析气候相关风险与事件背景下，迁移与非迁移行为的潜在驱动因素。数据集包含27项综合气候风险指标，用于衡量与水和粮食安全相关的暴露度、脆弱性、敏感性、适应能力及灾害风险。此外，数据集还收录了1991年至2024年间的56项灾害事件相关变量，涵盖事件识别、人员损失（流离失所与受影响人口）、物质与环境破坏，以及公共与私人经济损失。数据集还包含75项与风险管理、制度能力及环境立法相关的变量，涵盖风险管理举措、民防活动，以及市级行政单位应对气候相关灾害的能力。此外，数据集还补充了181项社会人口变量，包括住房特征、人口结构、识字率、种族/民族、户主特征及收入水平。所有数据均已完成市级层面的标准化处理，覆盖5570个市级行政单位。本数据集可为未来构建相关概念框架及开展实证研究奠定基础，助力分析结构性条件、环境压力与制度能力如何影响气候流动与非流动模式。
