DRC aims to act as a voice of displaced people, with a focus on supporting and encouraging duty-bearers to protect displaced people’s rights. The vision of this pillar is to ensure that the humanitarian impacts of climate change on displaced persons and host communities are both well understood and reflected in policy and practice, including in budgetary allocations, and that climate financing is proportional to the challenge. This pillar also seeks to ensure that DRC is proactively contributing to the generation of evidence on the nexus between climate change, conflict, environmental degradation and displacement.
Producing Evidence
Working towards more evidence and advocacy for climate change
DRC is striving towards being a key advocate and stakeholder for people affected by displacement in the humanitarian sector. As such, DRC is contributing to evidence production on the climate change nexus.
Have a look at DRC's Global Event in 2020, which was about Climate change consequences for the humanitarian sector
MMC is a global network engaged in data collection, research, analysis, and policy and programmatic development on mixed migration, with regional hubs hosted in DRC regional offices in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, and a small global team in Geneva.
How do climate change and environmental stressors contribute to migration and displacement in West and North Africa? This MMC paper reviews the state-of-the-art on environmental change and migration outcomes with a regional focus.
MMC undertook research on climate and mobility within the EU-Horn of Africa Migration Route Initiative with the aim to better understand not only the links between climate change and mobility in Khartoum Process countries, but also to gain an understanding of current activities relating to climate mobility.
The poorest in society are not the ones causing climate change, but they are the ones that will most lose out. Their voices must be heard, and governments and aid actors need to be accountable in ensuring equitable access to essential services, otherwise we risk further displacement and families who will find it even harder to make ends meet or have even a basic standard of living.
