Hamidullah Nikzad

Migrations Graduate Fellow

Hamidullah Nikzad is a researcher and advocate whose work focuses on the intersection of climate change and conflict, intensifying food insecurity, and migration in fragile contexts. Drawing on provincial-level data from 2017 to 2024, his thesis examines how climate variability and conflict incidents contribute to acute food insecurity and influence migration pressures in Afghanistan. 

His research bridges climate science, conflict analysis, and food security to illuminate the structural drivers of forced migration. Beyond his academic work, Hamidullah has served in roles advancing environmental sustainability and community resilience, and he is committed to producing evidence that informs both policy and practice.
