One of my areas of interest/work is human #mobility in the context of #climatechange:

▶️How does climate change influence & interact with other drivers of #migration & #displacement?
▶️How does it exacerbate existing vulnerabilities?
▶️What are benefits & drawbacks of migration?

🔔 How are countries addressing climate-induced human mobility?

🏃 This @SLYCANTrust assesses how NAPs feature & address human mobility. It finds that only 66% of NAPs contain concrete provisions or commitments to address mobility.

🙏 Check out our 🆕️ @SLYCANTrust technical briefing on the Global Goal on #Adaptation #GGA.

This was an interesting product to work on, as it had to be continually updated to keep pace with new draft texts & keep many placeholders until the very end of #COP29.
