Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of socioeconomic factors and natural hazards on internal displacement using explainable machine learning. A global database of disaster-induced displacement (2016-2021) is presented, incorporating environmental, societal, and economic factors to predict displacement per event. The study finds that displacement is primarily driven by poor household conditions and intense precipitation, highlighting differential vulnerability and providing a means for its quantification to inform mitigation and adaptation strategies.
