This publication presents seven case studies from the GIZ and Clima Trust South-South Dialogue Series on gender-responsive, city-centric approaches to human mobility in the context of climate change. Drawing on experiences from Kampala, Moundou, Dakar, Kegalle, Freetown, Jaipur and Mzuzu, it explores how cities are responding to migration, displacement, flood and landslide risks, and planned relocation. The cases highlight practical measures including inclusive services and livelihoods, community mediation, risk reduction, relocation planning, and locally generated data for early warning and municipal decisions. Across contexts, the publication emphasizes treating women and marginalised groups as active partners, strengthening existing systems, and connecting local action to national policy, sustained funding and long-term institutions. It concludes that city-to-city learning and context-specific solutions can help make mobility safer and more of a choice than a necessity.
