Agenda for Action

People must be at the center of climate action. The Agenda for Action calls for locally grounded solutions to address the drivers and impacts of climate mobility in the Greater Caribbean and to strengthen the agency of affected people and communities.

The individuals are closely packed, many wearing hats and backpacks, with one person wearing a purple jersey with the number 20. The scene appears to be in a rural, tropical area under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

Seven Actions for Seven Years

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. 

Guided by three core tenets — Adapt Locally, Protect Rights & Act Together — the GCCMI recommends an Agenda for Action with seven key Actions to prepare for climate mobility. Anchored in regional precedents, including the Escazu Agreement, the Cartagena Declaration, and rulings by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR), the Agenda directs climate mobility responses in line with meeting the 2030 deadline of 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:
