Case Study Brief: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Internal Human Mobility in Ghana

case

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change is having a significant impact on the world, with effects felt across all continents and regions. However, the effects of climate change are frequently felt most acutely in areas already vulnerable to environmental, economic, and social stresses. This is especially true in Africa, where climate change is exacerbating existing problems as well as social or economic instability, migration, and displacement.

Primer: Vulnerable Livelihoods and Climate-Related Human Mobility in Niger

case

SLYCAN Trust

The Republic of Niger is a landlocked Sahelian country with three quarters of its land area within the desert zone. The country's population is young (50% is under 25 years of age), largely rural (83.6%), and engaged in crop agriculture or animal husbandry for their livelihoods. Climate change in Niger is characterized by extreme weather events, increasing mean temperatures, increasing temperature extremes (very hot days and nights), and uncertainty regarding future rainfall patterns and variability.

Primer: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Human Mobility in Uganda

case

SLYCAN Trust

Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa and highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to its location and the importance of the climate-sensitive agriculture sector, which employs approximately 70% of Uganda's working population. Different parts of Uganda have experienced periodic occurrence of floods, prolonged droughts, erratic rainfall patterns, landslides, epidemics, conflict, and other natural, social, political, or economic shocks. Communities located in mountainous terrain, impenetrable rainforest, islands, and floodplains are highly vulnerable to severe and persistent poverty due to their physical separation from economic and social opportunities, which traps them in poor living conditions. In Uganda, human mobility is present in two forms: external and internal. External forms of human mobility occur when people from outside the country cross the borders to enter Uganda and choose to settle permanently or temporarily in places of their choice within the country. This publication has been developed as part of SLYCAN Trust's work programme on loss and damage in partnership with the Ministry of Water and Environment, Uganda.

Case Study

Primer: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Internal Human Mobility in Ghana

case

SLYCAN Trust

Climate change is causing serious losses and damages to lives and livelihoods across Ghana, which is classified as one of the most climate-vulnerable countries due to its heavy reliance on climate-sensitive sectors. Climate-induced loss and damage (L&D) is a growing concern, and people in affected areas are increasingly forced to migrate in search of safety or economic opportunities
