Resumen
Descripción
Climate change and food security are complex, intertwined processes, whose interaction has profound implications on human mobility. Rural people are exceptionally vulnerable to climate change impacts owing to their strong dependency on climate sensitive livelihoods and natural resources. Rural areas therefore appear to be at higher risk of climate induced migration, as is the case for Zimbabwe and other countries in Southern Africa. Despite increased evidence of climate induced migration and its relevance for rural areas, there is still a lack of policy coherence and coordination across sectors. This limits the adoption of comprehensive approaches to climate mobility that can tackle the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of climate change, migration and rural livelihoods. Through this project, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aimed at addressing this policy and programmatic gap, generating knowledge and strengthening capacities to ultimately address the root causes of climate induced mobility while harnessing the contribution of migration to climate adaptation.
