Background

Climate change increasingly influences and shapes the patterns of human mobility across the world. From internal or international migration to disaster displacement and planned relocation, the impacts of climate change create new push and pull factors, exacerbate underlying vulnerabilities, and alter the interaction of aspirations, perceived opportunities, and decision-making processes related to human mobility. When it comes to integrating human mobility considerations into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and other climate-related policies and processes, it is therefore critical to understand the context and multi-causal, multi-directional nature of these linkages between different forms of mobility and different impacts of climate change.

Objectives

The overall objective of this webinar is to build capacities related to the integration of different forms and aspects of human mobility into climate change policies, especially NDCs, including by:

• Identifying avenues for collaboration among members of the PCCB network on the topic of human mobility.
• Enhancing the understanding of the policy outlook related to the integration of climate-induced human mobility into national- and local-level planning and mapping capacity needs for the effective integration of human mobility into NDCs and other relevant policy processes.
• Facilitating knowledge-sharing and dissemination of technical needs related to integrating human mobility into NDCs.
