Deltas, Vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation
Explore further
DECCMA’s aims are:
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of adaptation options in deltas
-
To assess migration as an adaptation in deltaic environments under a changing climate
-
To deliver policy support to create the conditions for sustainable gender-sensitive adaptation
DECCMA’s objectives are:
-
To understand the governance mechanisms that promote or hinder migration of men and women in deltas
-
To identify climate change impact hotspots in deltas where vulnerability will grow and adaptation will be needed
-
To understand the conditions that promote migration and its outcomes, as well as gender-specific adaptation options for trapped populations, via surveys
-
To understand how climate-change-driven global and national macro-economic processes impact on migration of men and women in deltas
-
To produce an integrated systems-based bio-physical and socio-economic model to investigate potential future gendered migration under climate change
-
To conceptualise and evaluate migration within a wide suite of potential adaptation options at both the household and delta level
-
To identify feasible and desirable adaptation options and support implementation of stakeholder led gender-sensitive adaptation policy choices
allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
