E-learning course on human mobility in the context of climate change
A new, freely available self-paced e-learning course, jointly developed by UNU-EHS, UNU-VIE and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, will provide learners with a profound understanding of human mobility in the context of climate change.
By introducing key concepts like climate related migration, disaster displacement, planned relocation and trapped populations, this training will build capacities needed to consider human mobility in the context of climate change (HMCCC) in your respective field of work. The training showcases diverse examples from different countries on the phenomena of HMCCC as well as options how to manage it.
Dimensions of Gender and Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change (HMCCC)
„Gender influences who moves (or stays), how decisions are made, an individual’s circumstances in transit, and the outcomes of movement“ (Sierra Club & UN Women, 2018, p. 2). This quote shows that the nexus between climate change and human mobility is inherently gendered. Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change differs based on intersections of gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation and gender identity, geographical location and ethnicity. Read more about examples from the Global Programme’s partners from the Philippines, the Caribbean, the Pacific and East Africa.
Financing Adaptation in Zambia – Suggestions based on the AGRICA Climate Risk Analysis
Building on the estimated financing needs for the adaptation measures prioritized within the AGRICA Climate Risk Analysis in Zambia, this study discusses suitable financing options with the overall aim of bringing resilience goals closer to implementation.
Climate and Disaster Risk Financing in Zambia – a Protection Gap Analysis
This study serves as a basis for developing a Climate and Disaster Risk Financing Strategy for Zambia. It quantifies Zambia’s “protection gap” by comparing expected economic impacts from floods and droughts to the extent currently covered by available pre-arranged financial mechanisms.

Strengthening Climate Risk Management in Fair Trade value chains
Adverse weather and climate variability are impacting the agriculture production in all regions of the world. The effects are felt especially hard by small-scale agricultural producers. Currently around 2.9 million small-scale producers and workers in over 75 countries participate in Fair Trade schemes.
Value Creation through Mainstreaming Gender in Adaptation Finance
Value Creation through Mainstreaming Gender in Adaptation Finance is a customizable training for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in climate change adaptation. It underscores the significance of adopting a gender lens within the context of adaptation finance. In a rapidly changing business landscape, applying this gender perspective is critical to understanding and addressing diverse customer needs, enabling SMEs to effectively adapt their products and marketing strategies. Moreover, the program equips SMEs with the essential tools and insights to create a nurturing environment for talent development within their enterprises. It provides guidance on meeting the gender and inclusion-related criteria set by investors, a vital component for securing funding and establishing partnerships.
Learning to live with Climate Change
„My village is being taken back by the sea.” – Kaboua John’s voice trembles as he tells the story of his home island Kiribati, a small Pacific state, at the 2017 Bonn Climate Conference. Kiribati is not an isolated case – rather, climate change is increasingly threatening livelihoods of people worldwide. As a result, people leave their homes. Over the past 6 years, the Global Programme “Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change” has been tackling these challenges in regions like the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, East Africa and in the Philippines. Read more about their stories and how the programme has collaborated with multiple partners to address climate-induced migration.
Global Programme Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change (HMCCC) – Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Component
In East Africa, periods of droughts are becoming more frequent and last longer, rainfall patterns are losing their predictability, leading to higher probabilities of floods in certain areas. This significantly affects how, when, and why people move. To address the consequent challenges, the Global Programme “Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change” supports one of Africa’s Regional Economic Communities, namely IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development), to produce measures tailored to the region in order to help people adapt to a changing climate.
