Across the region, people are attached to their land, livelihood and communities. Losing or leaving home is a severe rupture.
Yet, communities that choose to stay in place, face increasing risks due to climate change, including deepening poverty. To prevent immobility from becoming a trap, governments have a duty to help communities adapt and take informed action to reduce risk and prevent loss and damage.
For those ready to move, there must be clear, fair procedures for relocation. Well-designed policies should offer safeguards and ensure that people can move in a planned, dignified way. National governments and regional bodies must also create safe, legal pathways for cross-border mobility due to climate change.
When people move out of desperation or in the midst of disaster, they become vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The growing presence of organized crime networks involved in human trafficking, extortion, and kidnappings makes the situation even more dangerous for refugees, displaced persons, and migrants.
