Book (stand-alone)Integrating human mobility through a rural livelihood lens into national adaptation and mitigation planning
Toolkit
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 toolkit 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. -
BookletHuman mobility in mountain areas in a changing climate 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The document, Human mobility in mountain areas in a changing climate, examines how climate change impacts human mobility in mountainous regions. These areas are increasingly vulnerable to both sudden hazards, like landslides and floods, and slow-onset changes, such as temperature rise and shifts in precipitation. These environmental stressors drive varied mobility patterns, including displacement, migration, and in some cases, immobility due to strong place attachment. The report draws on evidence from Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, highlighting how mountain communities respond to climate-induced pressures, with strategies ranging from pastoralism to labor migration. It also outlines the gendered dimensions of mobility, emphasizing the roles of women in managing households during male outmigration. The study points to the need for more targeted research, policy interventions, and support systems to mitigate the challenges faced by these vulnerable populations. By integrating mobility into climate adaptation plans, and leveraging Indigenous Peoples' knowledge with modern technologies, the report advocates for more comprehensive disaster risk management and sustainable development pathways in mountain regions -
Book (stand-alone)Leveraging COVID-19 recovery strategies to build climate-smart agrifood systems in developing countries 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has jeopardized the stability of agrifood systems and the welfare of the rural households that are actively engaged in the different components of these systems, particularly in developing countries. Efforts are underway to redress the negative impacts of the pandemic through investments to ‘build back better’. These efforts represent an enormous opportunity to make significant and lasting contribution to the longer-term resilience and sustainability of agrifood systems in the context of climate change. The objective of this report is to provide an overview of the current opportunities for harnessing short-term response and recovery efforts to address longer-term impacts on resilience and sustainability. The analysis focuses on the role of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in recovery strategies and outlines concrete policy objectives that can be implemented by national governments and their development partners. The report is structured in two parts. The first part outlines the nature of the challenges presented by climate change and COVID-19, their interrelationships, and the potential role CSA can play in addressing these interrelated challenges. The second part of the report outlines a set of policy options for enabling post-pandemic recovery efforts to contribute to longer-term resilience of agrifood systems through investments in CSA and associated enabling conditions.
