Governments worldwide have called for better data on the linkages between climate change and human mobility to improve policymaking, financing, and action. This panel highlights two projects aimed at strengthening the evidence base on climate mobility in Eastern and Southern Africa (UNICEF) and Southern Mexico (IOM). By exploring adaptive strategies for different populations—whether displaced children or rural farmers—we are addressing immediate needs while preparing for the green transition and advancing the SDGs. The panel will show how targeted, evidence-based interventions can help avert, minimize, and address displacement, while building resilience and sustainable development in the face of climate change.
