Climate Change Adaptation, Resilience and Human Mobility: Voices from the Climate Frontlines
Side-Event COP 20 Lima
Few issues have such far-reaching global implications as climate change. This side event will put a human face to climate change impacts by giving the spotlight to the voices from the frontlines of climate change to testify on the impacts of a changing climate including displacement and its gender dimensions. The event will also feature how some forms of human mobility can serve to adapt to the effects of climate change and avoid forced displacement.
