The International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on states' obligations on climate change is promising, but its ability to address displacement remains unclear.

These numbers from a Marshall lslands gov't report are striking. Only 1% support migration as a climate adaptation strategy. There are a lot of ways we could interpret this... (1/n)

While extreme rains, #floods and #landslides continue to dominate the news, across the Hindu Kush Himalaya, a quieter water crisis has been unfolding as springs, main water-source for millions, have dried up.

The losses caused by the disappearance of springs, while less sudden and visible than sudden-onset disasters, are no less consequential, as this film from Uttarkhand shows.

Without water, crops fail. Livestock die. Life, both for people and the more-than-human world, becomes impossible; and from India and Nepal to Bhutan and Bangladesh, villages have hollowed out as springs have run dry.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Across the region, ICIMOD, communities and local government have been coming together to bring springs back to life, deploying nature-based solutions and transforming the ways water is managed. 

This world water week, we are calling for more local government decision-makers and communities to join with us to #BringSpringsBack

Migration is complex. Coverage often looks at who *leaves* and climate explanations for so-called "ghost villages" in the Himalaya.

But who *stays* in the face of risks and why? I wrote about a new study led by @HimaniUp that turns the spotlight on communities who remain.

[Himani @HimaniUp]

Communities, whether staying voluntarily or involuntarily, struggled to adapt, seeking external support. Attention needs to be paid to groups whose vulnerability will potentially increase when they remain in place – especially women and the elderly.

Here is what we ask and find🧵

[Himani @HimaniUp]

Boundaries of voluntary and involuntary get blurred when seen through a gender lens. Women express their wish to stay, but face mobility constraints from socio-structural conditions. Which raises the question that to what extent can women’s immobility be considered voluntary?
