The Greater Caribbean Climate Mobility Initiative
The Greater Caribbean Climate Mobility Initiative (GCCMI) was launched in 2022 to support the nations in the Greater Caribbean in harnessing the potential of mobility for climate resilient development in the region and coordinating efforts to address climate-forced displacement and migration through comprehensive and locally anchored solutions. By anticipating future climate risks and movements of people, the Initiative seeks to support planning and cooperation to enable positive community transition, create safe climate mobility pathways and protect the rights and dignity of those who are forced to move.
The GCCMI is a joint effort of the Global Centre for Climate Mobility (GCCM) and the Association of Caribbean States (ACS), in close collaboration with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the World Bank. By building the evidence base, bringing together diverse actors and stakeholders from across the region and beyond, and advancing a common Agenda for Action, the GCCMI works to foster a growing climate mobility ecosystem in the Greater Caribbean and to support the integration of policy action across sectors and levels of governance. In this way, the region can build collective resilience, uphold people’s right to stay, and consolidate sustainable development gains under more severe climatic conditions.

The Global Centre for Climate Mobility
The Global Centre for Climate Mobility (GCCM) is a global entity at the intersection of climate action and human mobility, enabling positive adaptation journeys for people and communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis, upholding their adaptive capacities and “right to stay”. Hosted at the United Nations Office for Project Services, the GCCM is supported by champion countries, UN Agencies, the World Bank, regional organizations, philanthropies, civil society, and research institutions.
The GCCM advances positive community transitions in climate-vulnerable regions through regional initiatives that support governments and frontline communities to anticipate, plan for, and respond to climate mobility, including the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (launched in 2021), the Greater Caribbean Climate Mobility Initiative (2022), the Pacific Climate Mobility Initiative (2023), and the Coastal Cities Initiative (2025). The GCCM also enables the Rising Nations Initiative (RNI), which is dedicated to addressing the existential threats posed by sea-level rise. The GCCM is structured around four core Practices: the Knowledge & Policy Hub, the Solutions Lab, the Communities Climate Adaptation Facility (C-CAF), and the Climate Mobility Academy, through which the Centre delivers modeling & research, co-creates locally led solutions, informs policy, fosters partnerships, and builds capacity across the climate mobility ecosystem. It serves as the secretariat for the Coalition for Addressing Sea-Level Rise and its Existential Threats (C-SET), the Ocean Rise and Coastal Resilience Coalition, and the Climate Mobility Elders Group (C-MEG).
