Migration and Climate Change
Tackling environment–migration challenges and fostering climate-change adaptation
2019

Also available in:

No results found.

Climate change and human mobility are complex, intertwined processes. Climate variability and change pose risks to livelihoods, health and assets that increase vulnerability and, in turn, influence migration. Climate challenges are fuelling migration in many parts of the world. At the same time, however, migration can play a significant role in climate-change resilience strategies and help boost the adaptive capacity of rural communities through the investment of remittances and diaspora engagement. FAO’s initiative will take a holistic approach to tackling the challenges and opportunities of the environment‒migration nexus. It aims to mitigate some of the adverse drivers of environmental migration, while harnessing its potential when it comes to climate-change adaptation in rural areas and promoting policy coherence in areas of migration and climate change.

This fact-sheet shows the two-lesson course that focuses on the impact of climate change on rural livelihoods and how climate change and variability interact with other factors to drive migration. It considers the conditions necessary for migration to be an adaptation strategy to climate change that can ultimately strengthen resilience, so that migration is a choice not a necessity.

Governance challenges for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation convergence in agriculture - Guidance for analysis
Governance and policy support - Discussion paper
2019

Also available in:

No results found.

This discussion paper aims to help practitioners work in a more informed and politically sensitive way to integrate actions on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in agriculture. It illustrates some typical governance and political economy-related barriers that may hamper convergence or integration of DRR and CCA actions. It also provides guidance for in-depth governance analysis, putting the analytical focus at national and subnational levels, while considering the international context as an important factor for convergence. The FAO Governance and Policy Support Discussion Paper series provides perspectives and concepts on critical governance and policy issues that are relevant to FAO work at country, regional and global levels. Discussion Papers are often based on work in progress, and we welcome suggestions and ideas by email at: governance-support@fao.org.
