Engendering Climate-Induced Migration: Perspectives from Asia

Time

13:00 - 17:00 (IST)

Background

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), in collaboration with the Climate Action Network South Asia (CANSA), is organizing a multi stakeholder dialogue on 9 February 2022 from 1 PM – 5 PM (IST).

The dialogue aims to present the emerging evidences from the ground consultations that have been informed by the voices and experiences of women and men in communities affected by the increased frequency and intensity of environmental and climate hazards. This way, the dialogue aims to provide deeper insights into the migratory landscape in the South Asian region, especially from the the migrant communities of India, Bangladesh and Nepal.

The multistakeholder doalogue will help develop a better understanding of the adaptive/maladaptive nature of migration, particularly the internal rural-urban and transboundary irregular migration, identify the gaps in the laws, policies and frameworks pertaining to migration in the region and draw the pathway for better governance that strengthens and reinforces gender equality and substantive and procedural rights of people.

This event is organized with support from SEI’s Strategic Collaborative Fund.
