On 5 – 7 October 2022, Ethiopia, with Germany as co-host, welcomed delegates from Khartoum Process (KP) and Rabat Process (RP) partner countries and organisations to Addis Ababa for a Thematic Meeting (TM) on Climate Change and Migration: Addressing Impacts & Adaptation Strategies for Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change. In this occasion, for the first time climate mobility was addressed in the framework of both dialogues.
Two were the key objectives of this thematic meeting: establishing a nuanced understanding of the climate change – human mobility nexus and institutionalise a conceptual framework for mainstreaming climate mobility into migration governance and other related areas (e.g. urban planning) while sharing experiences on strategies and initiatives at the local, national, and regional levels on human mobility in the context of climate change.
