HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE-INDUCED MIGRATION AND DISPLACEMENT: Africa Regional Civil Society Consultation

ECM was represented at the Africa Regional Consultative meeting on climate induced migration.

The consultations were meant to identify ways for civil society organizations to build coordinated national and regional responses to climate-related migration and displacement, including through partnerships with grassroots networks and research communities.

The goal was to develop shared understandings on current and potential future trends in climate-induced human-mobility, including displacement and migration, and to identify strategies for targeted institutional and structural advocacy engagement.

The stakeholders were meant to build a voice to prompt governments in Africa and regional committees to make deliberate actions to protect the rights of climate induced migrants both internal and cross border.

The Consultations took place in Addis Ababa from 10-11 May 2023
