The Global Centre
for Climate Mobility
The Global Centre for Climate Mobility is a global partnership to address climate-forced migration and displacement in the world’s most climate vulnerable regions.
Introduction
As the climate crisis escalates, more places will see extreme weather, including heat, storms, floods and droughts that disrupt people’s lives and livelihoods. The impacts will be most acutely felt in the regions that have least contributed to global warming, and where people have few resources and limited capacity to adapt. Countries and communities need to prepare for a warming climate and environmental changes with profound human consequences.
