Unpacking Climate Change-Induced Migration

This edition examines how climate change is reshaping human mobility across the Himalayan region and beyond. It explores how slow-onset processes like glacier retreat, drought, and sea-level rise, alongside extreme events such as floods and landslides are eroding livelihoods and driving internal and cross-border migration. The paper also highlights the disproportionate impacts on vulnerable communities and underscores the need for stronger legal frameworks, regional cooperation, climate finance, and people-centered social protection policies to address climate mobility as a growing governance and development challenge.
