Our Initiatives

The GCCM’s regional Climate Mobility Initiatives (CMIs) are generating data and analysis, developing regional Agendas for Action, and mobilizing political support for locally anchored solutions to anticipate and address climate mobility.

The GCCM also enables the Rising Nations Initiative (RNI), a UN Member States-led initiative supporting the Pacific Atoll countries’ efforts to preserve their sovereignty, protect their statehood, and safeguard the rights and heritage of affected populations in the face of the existential threats posed by climate change.
