CDKN - Climate Change & Migration - Living on the Go
Bangladesh -- too often at the mercy of extreme weather. Densely populated and low lying, it's one of the 10 countries most vulnerable to the impacts of a changing global climate - cyclones, floods, erosion and drought are destroying the livelihoods for millions, forcing them to move. So how can millions of Bangladeshi's protect their families - and their incomes?
A joint team of researchers from University of Dhaka, Bangladesh and University of Sussex, the UK are looking at the impact of climate change on migration - their research could help provide the answer and shape better public policy.
Living on the Go, a film based on the research, follows communities in the Gabura, Satkhira region who were affected by cyclone aila in 2009. To cope with the after effects, some of them migrated inlands, in search of livelihood.
The film, commissioned by Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) has been produced by Television Trust for the Environment - http://tve.org/

Marcelo Pisani , IOM
From Lima: COP20 UN Climate Change Conference 2014 in December 2014
COP20 (10/12/14) – IOM want to increase awareness and action on migration and climate change. In South America specifically, Pisani describes how the IOM have recently conducted training workshops for governmental staff in Chile on climate change and migration. In Columbia IOM use modern technology to track drough induced migrations. In middle income South America countries, the main challenge is how to put climate change migration at the top of the agenda. In contrast, in the Pacific Islands migration is a priority but here the challenge is how to move people without jeapordising their culture.

Philippines: Portraits of Recovery
In emergencies, it is critical that crisis-affected communities have access to information and life-saving communications to them to better understand issues that affect their lives and to make the informed decisions for themselves and their communities. Communications with Communities (CwC) is an emerging field in humanitarian response that seeks to address this information gap.
This video shares the story of Fred Padernos, station manager at Radyo Abante in Tacloban, the Filipino city hardest hit by Typhoon Haiyan in Nov 2013 as he works to provide vital information and communications to his community after the typhoon.
