A Real Mosaic of Solutions to Respond to Loss and Damage from Climate Change | Human Mobility

This publication is part of a series of briefs unpacking the pieces of a fit for purpose “mosaic of solutions” to respond to loss and damage from climate change. This series expands on our earlier work, which presented a five-year vision for Loss and Damage under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to look beyond the international climate regime at catalysing a wider mosaic of solutions.

In the flagship paper of the series, we unpack the pieces of the mosaic. In these thematic briefs, we dive deeper into existing solutions and how they can be strengthened. We also consider any reforms needed and explore emerging solutions.

This brief unpacks responses to loss and damage associated with human mobility, including migration, displacement and planned relocation. It provides a short introduction to how climate change is leading to human mobility, highlights emerging and existing solutions and related challenges, and how these challenges can be addressed.
