Climate Mobility Pavilion - COP29
The Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP), organized by the Global Centre for Climate Mobility (GCCM), is a dedicated space in the Blue Zone at COP29 in Baku where global leaders, policymakers, experts, and affected communities will discuss evidence, policies, and actions needed to enable positive adaptation journeys for people and communities at the frontline of the climate crisis. The CMP will center its programme on advancing engagements and partnerships for people-centered climate action and enabling community transition amidst climate change. The CMP is located in Area E, B13 of the COP29 Blue Zone.
Context
Forced displacement is emerging as the human face of the climate crisis. Extreme weather events and slow onset changes such as water scarcity, decreased crop yields, and rising sea-level are driving millions of people from their homes. Against this backdrop, the CMP at COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh and at COP28 in Dubai played a central role in mobilizing like-minded champions to elevate climate mobility in the international agenda, particularly on advancing adaptation efforts and addressing loss & damage.
Join Us
The CMP is excited to announce its official programme for COP29, taking place from 11–21. With 62 sessions over 10 days, the CMP will bring together leaders, experts, and key stakeholders to explore innovative solutions and policy practices on climate mobility. The CMP programme reflects the overwhelming response to our Call for Expressions of Interest—with an extraordinary 275 proposals submitted. From these, 70 events were selected, many merging to create new synergies and align with shared goals, ensuring diverse representation across the Pavilion.
Youth at the CMP
The CMP Youth Programme will bring together 30 young leaders to advance climate action with a focus on the most climate-vulnerable regions of the world. Selected from over 10,600 applications, the Climate Mobility and Rising Nations Youth Delegates will receive full sponsorship to participate in COP29, along with capacity-building support. On 14 November, the first-ever Climate Mobility Youth Day at COP will be co-hosted by the GCCM with 50 governments.
