Human mobility

Two years after floods submerged a third of the country, Pakistan stands at a crossroads in disaster response. The CGIAR FCM Initiative, co-led by IWMI, spearheads research on anticipatory action and address vulnerabilities in host communities.

This policy brief summarises key learning from the Ward Development Planning model, an innovative approach to local participatory development planning being implemented in Kenya’s drylands.

This briefing note prepared by the Initiative for Climate Action and Development (ICAD) explores the status of Malawi’s NAP process, places human mobility in the context of climate change in Malawi

The Guna people of Panama's sinking Gardi Sugdub island are planning to move to the mainland to escape rising sea levels

As NAPs serve as a means of identifying and addressing countries' adaptation needs and developing national strategies and programmes, the integration of human mobility into all their key steps and elements is crucial.

In a recent study, a team of researchers led by Bruno Merz and Sergiy Vorogushyn from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences proposes a new strategy to motivate society to discuss appropriate flood risk management strategies.

The increasing impact of climate change on human mobility and immobility, coupled with misleading narratives, highlights the urgency for comprehensive research on climate-induced migration patterns.

The present study proposed a novel interpretable machine learning approach to predict household-level evacuation decisions by leveraging easily accessible demographic and resource-related predictors, compared to existing models.
