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

Primer: Climate-Induced Loss and Damage and Cultural Loss in Maldives

case

SLYCAN Trust

Maldives’s exclusive economic zone consists of only 1% land across 1,192 small islands and 99% sea, comprising the world's seventh largest reef system. The seas teeming with marine flora and fauna, white sandy beaches, and year-round warm weather make the country a leading tourist destination.

Human Mobility in National Adaptation Plans

SLYCAN Trust

Human mobility increasingly takes place in the context of climate change. Accordingly, climate action and policy processes need to incorporate human mobility and acknowledge the different ways in which it can become relevant: as an adaptation strategy, as an obstacle to long-term resilience, as maladaptation, or as a form of climate-induced loss and damage (L&D).

SLYCAN Trust

Climate-related human mobility is an increasingly important topic on the local, national, and global level, including in the UNFCCC process. It takes many forms, such as internal environmental migration, disaster displacement, climate-driven labour migration, planned relocation, seasonal agricultural migration, permanent exodus from rural areas, transboundary pastoralist movements, trapped populations, and voluntary immobility. Human mobility affects millions of people around the world, including those who move, their family members, the communities they leave behind, and host populations taking in climate migrants and the displaced. It connects to different sectors as well as cross-cutting considerations such as gender, youth, the informal sector, social protection, and just transition, rendering it a complex thematic area that needs to be addressed with holistic, equitable, participatory, intersectional, and transdisciplinary approaches.
