Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIntegrating human mobility through a rural livelihood lens into national adaptation and mitigation planning
Guiding framework
2025Also available in:
No results found.Rural stakeholders are among the most affected by the adverse impacts of climate change due to their high dependence on resource-based livelihoods and exposure to climate hazards. When climate change undermines rural livelihoods, people may be compelled to move, or may become trapped. National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are the plans countries prepare under the Paris Agreement to plan their climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.NAPs and NDCs often identify agriculture as one of the main economic sectors affected by climate change impacts where action is needed to either mitigate or adapt to climate change. Some advances have also been made with regard to integrating mobility (which includes migration, displacement and planned relocation) into NAPs and NDCs. However, the links between climate change, rural livelihoods and mobility are not considered adequately. This is a missed opportunity as the role of migration as adaptation, especially in the context of rural livelihoods, is increasingly recognized.This guide aims to support stakeholders involved in the design and implementation of NAPs and NDCs to explicitly consider mobility from a rural livelihoods’ perspective. This is important for: (i) addressing the adverse drivers of mobility (and immobility) in rural areas; (ii) ensuring that mobility is an act of choice where possible; and (iii) promoting safe, ordinary and regular movement of people, including migration as adaptation. -

Case study: Uganda
2020Also available in:
No results found.This case study on Uganda is part of a series that describes the steps taken to formulate and implement National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), with a particular emphasis on adaptation in agriculture (including forestry, livestock and fisheries). This series aims to provide national policymakers with valuable information from colleagues and counterparts in Asia, Africa and Latin America who are on the same adaptation planning journey to address the multiple challenges posed by climate change. Each case study describes the contribution and lessons learnt from the UNDP-FAO Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) programme, funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) through the International Climate Initiative (IKI). -

English
2017Also available in:
No results found.The case study aims to show the links between NAP and NAP-Ag programme activities and the resulting impacts. Given that the NAP-Ag programme in Kenya has only been running since mid-2016, it is too early to assess the impacts, however lessons can be drawn from the suite of activities that are being developed or implemented at the national and county level. The preparation of this case study is based on interviews with the UNDP – FAO NAP-Ag country coordinator, representatives from national Minis tries with climate change adaptation responsibilities, as well as extensive review of country reports and publications.
