Executive Summary
This study report has been designed to influence policy action and decision making by development practitioners from governments, international organizations and other stakeholders. It promotes a clearer understanding of regional and international frameworks on climate change and migration, trends in climate change, disaster risk displacements and gender specific risks associated with climate change related migration.
The study also draws on reflections and lessons learned from climate change related migration and contributions of women in finding practical solutions to emerging challenges. The study examines migration related concerns, new opportunities and provides recommendations to inform policy and programmatic action to addressing drivers of climate change induced migration and the implications for women and gender inequalities in East Africa.
