Climate-Related Human Mobility Across Different Levels of Adaptation Governance

The report examines how climate-induced migration, displacement, and planned relocation are incorporated into National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and sub-national governance. It highlights a gap between high-level policy commitments and local implementation, emphasizing that sub-national actors often drive the national agenda. The document identifies strategies for better integration, such as localizing NAP priorities and improving finance flows to local leadership.

• Sub-national and local actors are critical to the implementation of National Adaptation Plan (NAP) priorities and frequently lead the national agenda regarding climate-related human mobility adaptation.
• There is a disconnect between policy and practice because most National Adaptation Plans mention human mobility without specifying how those commitments are implemented across different governance levels.
• Effective integration of human mobility into sub-national governance involves localizing NAP priority actions, creating sub-national plans, strengthening local leadership, and enhancing the flow of information and finance to sub-national levels.
