Advocating for change: a compendium on climate mobility
This compendium is both a resource and a practical toolkit to advance more concerted efforts on mobility within the context of the climate crisis. Humanity is far from meeting the essential goals of (1) mitigating greenhouse gas emissions to lessen the severity of the climate crisis, and (2) allocating adequate resources for climate adaptation and resilience building. As a result, each year, more and more people find themselves either trapped in increasingly dangerous circumstances or forced to leave their homes. Existing policies, institutions, and actors are ill-equipped to handle the complexities of climate change-related mobility and immobility. Because the climate crisis acts as a powerful accelerant to migration patterns, there is a clear need for institutional leadership and new integrated strategies that anticipate and safely accommodate the increasing numbers of people affected by the climate crisis.
