    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​
