Climate change, environmental degradation and migration
This publication focuses on three main areas of capacity-building: building knowledge and improving data collection; strengthening policy, institutional, administrative and legal frameworks; and reinforcing operational and technical capacities. The publication is a summary of a workshop themed “The Future of Migration: Building Capacities for Change”, and makes proposals for future activities to take forward the conclusions of the workshop. The publication focuses on mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and disaster risk management into existing migration management policies, as well as highlights the need for integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation strategies.
