Inception Workshop for the Development of Case Studies on Climate-Related Human Mobility in Policy Processes

April 25th, 2023
9.30 am to 2 pm IST

Introduction

Different forms of human mobility are increasingly connected to the impacts of climate change. As the nature of these connections is complex and multi-faceted, SLYCAN Trust in collaboration with relevant entities is developing case studies to illustrate, highlight, and enhance the understanding of migration, disaster displacement, and planned relocation in the context of climate change.
Building on our work on the global level, especially around the UNFCCC process, and our existing case studies (please see below), SLYCAN Trust is organising a multi-stakeholder gathering to launch the activities related to this case study development and gather inputs from stakeholders.

Objectives

  • Present existing research and thematic focus areas for the development of case studies on climate-related human mobility in policy and planning processes in Sri Lanka.

  • Highlight opportunities for integration of climate-related human mobility into policy processes.

  • Launch a call for case studies aiming to explore climate impacts on different forms of human mobility, map linkages between human mobility and policy processes in relevant sectors, and identify connections between national processes and regional or global frameworks on climate change and human mobility, such as those under the UNFCCC.

  • Provide a space for knowledge-sharing and exchange among key stakeholders on climate change, human mobility, and relevant sectors in Sri Lanka.
