Over the past decade, developing countries worldwide have made notable progress in formulating their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), moving from preparatory stages into implementation. However, climate change adaptation remains highly context-specific, requiring NAPs to be localised for effective action at provincial, local, and sectoral levels. Of the 58 NAPs developed by these countries so far, 83% address climate-related human mobility, including Sri Lanka’s. Human mobility, in the form of climate-related migration, disaster displacement, or planned relocation, spans multiple sectors and levels of governance, making it a valuable case study for understanding NAP localisation and improving vertical and horizontal integration.

Despite this progress, there are still significant knowledge gaps in identifying inclusive and effective approaches to NAP implementation, particularly when it comes to addressing the needs of vulnerable communities affected by climate-related mobility. To deepen understanding and explore solutions for these challenges, SLYCAN Trust, in collaboration with the Climate Change Secretariat of the Ministry of Environment of Sri Lanka, is hosting a "Workshop on Climate-Related Human Mobility and Climate Change Adaptation at Provincial and Local Levels in Sri Lanka." This event convenes relevant stakeholders to discuss how to address the needs of these communities in NAP localisation, ensuring that climate-induced mobility is considered through collaborative, inclusive, and context-specific adaptation strategies.
