Climate Displacement Planning Initiative

CDPI is a Canadian nonprofit working to ensure safety, dignity, and justice for those forced to move because of climate change.

❄️Climate-induced Internal Displacement in MENA Countries. This #JointStudyGroup must investigate some case studies in 🇪🇬,🇩🇿or 🇱🇾 & 🇯🇴 assess how climate-induced internal displacements have started and how the phenomenon is likely to increase.

A great summary graphic on mitigation options out of the most recent #IPCC report.

@CCMigrants Thanks for sharing!

[Climate Displacement Planning Initiative @PlanningClimate]

@MigrationPolicy institue is also releasing a bespoke issue on the @IPCC_CH report. Excellent analysis within:

[MigrationPolicy Inst @MigrationPolicy]

New @IPCC_CH report on climate change predicts cyclones, flooding & other extreme events may displace increasing numbers in future years
What might that look like?

As always, CDPI is following Alex Randall's take on the release of the new #IPCC report with some more analysis of our own to follow.

[Alex Randall @alex_randall]

Here’s the big thing you need to know about the IPCC report when it comes to climate change and migration. This iteration of the report recognises the limits of adapting to climate change while staying put. [Thread]

[Alex Randall @alex_randall]

“As parts of the world become uninhabitable thanks to flooded streets and burning forests, border restrictions are tightening across the world. For people who’ve lost their homes, the impact is devastating.” https://t.co/7nK88VyoMy

Bangladesh continues to lead much important work on climate change displacement. This will be a session worth tuning in to:

[IDMC @IDMC_Geneva]

Tomorrow @vanzellini_IDMC will join a webinar on #climatechange & #displacement.

The virtual event, organised by @TheCVF @BDPM_Geneva & with remarks by @MdShahriarAlam @IOMchief @FilippoGrandi, will gather expert views on climate-induced displacement & mobilising climate action.

#ICYMI: CDPI researcher Azin Emami is working on a new blog series about the linkages between #climatechange, displacement, labour #migration, and economic precarity.

CDPI is grateful fo rthe past support of @PICSCanada in our Canadian displacement research and we look forward to working together more in the future to raise the profile of adaptation in national climate change dicourse.

The lack of data aroud First Nations displacement in Canada continues to be a serious problem.

The BC-focused Chapman-Abbott report and the @BCGovNews action plan that followed in 2018 are working on many of these issues, but resilience-building is always a long-term activity.

[Todd Kuiack @KuiackTodd]

Great report on emergency management in FN by ⁦@TbayTurner⁩. “First Nations are 18 times more likely to be evacuated than other communities in Canada.” What happened in 2008? ⁦@SpclAdvsrEM⁩ and will 2019/20 numbers be available soon? Data is so important.

[Climate Displacement Planning Initiative @PlanningClimate]

Extreme weather continues to be a huge challenge in Canada that, sadly, will only grow more intense as climate change's impacts worsen.

This is why a Canadian adaptation strategy is so critical.

[Climate Proof Canada @ClimateProofCA]

Tornado researchers at Western University are branching out into another extreme weather phenomenon, tracking the impact of hailstorms in Canada. #ClimateProofCanada

[Mayors Migration Council @MayorsMigration]

"The High Level Panel report includes two key recs
1⃣provide funding as locally as possible
2⃣establish a Global Fund for Internal Displacement Solutions
Existing mechanisms like the MMC's #GlobalCitiesFund could be used to support city govs in serving IDPs."
-MMC ED @ToriVzanuso

[Mayors Migration Council @MayorsMigration]

At today's event co-hosted by the MMC, @Refugees @UNHABITAT @UNmigration & @JIPS_profiling, ED @ToriVzanuso joined @MaimunahSharif @RaoufMazou & others to hear from the Mayors of Kramatorsk & Quezon City @QCMayorJoy on concrete challenges & successes in addressing displacement.

A stark reminder of how much our climate continues to change:

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

How long ago were the hottest and coldest years on record around the world?
Check out this great #dataviz from @neilrkaye and see how our climate is changing

[Global Center on Adaptation @GCAdaptation]

Water may not hold memory, but the communities managing the water do.

Connect with water managers and planners through our Community of Practice on Water and Culture to share and benefit from a rich past of water knowledge in innovating for water-related #climateaction.

[Mayors Migration Council @MayorsMigration]

With climate-induced migration on the rise, @CitiesAlliance recommends engaging "local governments...in planning & decision-making around addressing climate-induced forced migration."

The #GlobalCitiesFund will do just that in it's next iteration.

5. Recognise that climate-influenced mobility is here to stay. Every movement choice will have climate change implicated in it now. We need to embed that in all of our thinking and work within it, not demonize those who need to move.

We concur with @alex_randall. While the the Convention needs updating, there are so many other measures that can benefit migrants and refugees tomorrow if we work to implement them. A short 🧵with a few examples of what we could do:

[Alex Randall @alex_randall]

It feels like we've been here before several times. It's true that international law isn't ready to deal with climate driven mobility. But altering the refugee convention really isn't the best way to fix this https://t.co/dPW4EJKhFb

4. Reform urban planning, especially in wealthy, low-density cities.

Too many people cannot afford to live in major cities, and combinations of zoning reform and more community ownership can ease the pressure. @GenSqueeze has some good ideas on this: https://t.co/Bx3mQhDHfv
