Seven Actions for a Positive Transition

The Greater Caribbean Climate Mobility Initiative (GCCMI) set out to create a common evidence base to enable governments at all levels, affected communities and relevant  partners to plan for the shifts ahead.

Sea-level rise and other climate impacts are predictable. People’s decisions to move are harder to anticipate, yet generally follow opportunities, historical paths and social networks. By projecting future hotspots of climate mobility, governments and stakeholders can begin to engage affected communities and prioritize adaptation measures. 

The Initiative proposes an Agenda for Action—shaped by dialogue with over 1,200 regional stakeholders—offering seven core recommendations for governments and partners to address the challenges and harness the potential of climate mobility, ensuring positive community transitions toward resilience and shared prosperity. Anchored in regional precedents, including the Escazú Agreement, the Cartagena Declaration, and guidance rulings by the Inter-American Court of, and Commission on, Human Rights, the Agenda directs climate mobility responses in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.

The Agenda for Action outlines concrete measures to advance each of the seven Actions. It calls on Greater Caribbean leaders across sectors and levels of governance, stakeholders, and international partners to:
