The Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) is working on human mobility in the context of disasers & climate change in Africa

Hello world, this is the Twitter account of the Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) - a multidisciplinary, bi-lingual (EN+FR) network of researchers & policymakers working on displacement and migration in the context of disasters and climate change in Africa!

[Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) @CMARN_network]

🇿🇼 Today we're catching up with @GCCMobility Fellow @NataliaChimhowa from Zimbabwe! Tinokunda is a drone technology specialist monitoring environmental impacts on #displacement.

We asked: "How can better data and research create more humane policy responses in #ClimateMobility?"

[IOM Burundi 🇺🇳 @IOMBurundi]

Timely data is essential to guide rapid response.

From 02–22 November, @DTM_IOM 🇧🇮 recorded over 36,000 people affected by heavy rains in Burundi, including more than 7,800 displaced.

Urgent support is needed to assist those impacted.

Today, we're delighted to hear from young activist @KobusingeRose1! Rose was selected as an inaugural @IOM_MECC Changemaker, and is Founding Director of @TheVitalCrest Foundation. We asked Rose:

"What role do you see for African youth in driving solutions for #ClimateMobility?"

[IOM Burundi 🇺🇳 @IOMBurundi]

Climate adaptation solutions, including effective disaster risk reduction, are to strengthen community resilience.

As #COP30 concludes, IOM 🇧🇮 calls for greater investment in adaptation measures that empower communities to anticipate, withstand, and recover from climate shocks.

[Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) @CMARN_network]

As #COP30 closes, we reflect on two hectic weeks of negotiations, discussions & #ClimateMobility advocacy.

We asked @UNmigration Deputy Director General @daniels_ugochi: If you could share one message with young African researchers working on climate mobility, what would it be?

🚨 Whilst we're deeply relieved nobody was hurt and the situation was quickly brought under control, we hope the irony of COP30 experiencing floods and fires is not lost on negotiators. This is a tiny glimpse into the extreme weather events millions of people experience every day

[Mark T @TilleyMarc]

From floods to fires in the space of 72 hours, the #COP30 Blue Zone is a rather apt metaphor for the climate crisis whose response is being negotiated here.

Migration can be a strategic part of climate adaptation when it is safe, well-planned, and dignified.

Grateful to @cnnarabic for the opportunity to share these insights during #COP30.

#COP30 negotiations are, predictably, expected to last beyond the foreseen schedule. The Summit rarely finishes on time and, while delegations anticipate this, spiralling accommodation and transport costs often exclude smaller countries during the most crucial negotiation stages.

[Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) @CMARN_network]

🌍 Knowledge gaps in addressing the links between human mobility, #climate and conflict lead to significant limitations, which creates a lack of policy coherence. Cross-border, sub-regional and regional cooperation is essential to inclusive, impactful and lasting peace solutions.

[Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) @CMARN_network]

⚖️ At today's #COP30 discussion on climate displacement solutions, consensus is clear: the recent #ICJ ruling is not just about recognising #climate change. It is a historic step toward establishing accountability for communities already living with loss, damage and displacement.

[Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) @CMARN_network]

As the #COP30 venue floods from heavy rain, it is a stark reminder that climate impacts are no longer projections. They are here, shaping even the spaces where we negotiate our response.

[Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) @CMARN_network]

We're at a vital @GCCMobility #COP30 panel on @UNCCD-@UNFCCC synergies to respond to the climate-crisis. Land degradation, mobility and climate impacts are not separate crises. They are one interconnected reality. People on the move cannot wait for fragmented systems to catch up.

[Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) @CMARN_network]

The loss of territory often also entails the erosion of language, ritual, and memory. Today at @IOM_MECC's #COP30 Pavilion, CMARN & @resama_org brought together young voices from Africa, the Pacific and the Amazon to unpack the preservation of cultural identity amid displacement.
