Evidence-based policy processes: The role of country case studies for highlighting climate-induced human mobility in the UNFCCC policy processes
October 9, 2024
As the impacts of climate change continue to transform the environment and people’s livelihoods across the globe, vulnerable regions with fewer adaptive capacities—like Sub-Saharan Africa—are the most affected. In these countries, climate change threatens communities, properties, and livelihoods while also causing a range of non-economic or indirect impacts, such as forcing people to migrate. This is one of the complex challenges that countries are deliberating on at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) level. This article will explore how country-specific evidence can strengthen global policy frameworks and contribute to the UNFCCC process.
