Climate Mobility Summit

The second annual Climate Mobility Summit (CMS) will bring together global leaders, policymakers, experts and representatives of affected communities to discuss evidence, policies, and actions needed to enable positive adaptation journeys for people and communities at the frontline of the climate crisis. Organized over two days in the margins of the UN High-Level Week, the CMS will serve as a global platform for affected communities and policymakers to gain awareness and knowledge of relevant climate information and data, as well as legal, policy and financial tools needed to anticipate, prepare and plan for climate mobility as part of community transitions in affected countries.

Context

Forced displacement is emerging as the human face of the climate crisis. The climate crisis threatens sustainable development and the livelihoods of people globally, including through the greater frequency and severity of extreme weather events, water scarcity, decreased crop yields, and rising sea levels, as well as through its impacts on education, economies, health and sanitation. As a result, the climate crisis is emerging as a key driver of forced displacement and migration. By 2050, it is estimated that over 200 million people globally may be forced to leave their homes due to climate-related reasons.
