According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Nigeria has experienced a temperature rise of 1.1 degrees Celsius since the late 20th century, resulting in more frequent and intense heat waves, drought, floods, storms and landslides which are negatively affecting agriculture, water resources, and human health. This project aims to contribute to developing the Government of Nigeria’s national capacities on areas most affected by climate-induced migration and strengthen national policy. The project will capitalize on a growing network of partnerships with Nigerian Universities. The intended outcome of the project is for relevant stakeholders in the Government of Nigeria to develop improved and integrated evidence-based policy and programming in relation to Nigeria's climate-induced migration. To accomplish this outcome, the project will conduct a comprehensive assessment of internal migration related to slow-onset climate change, particularly drought, and migrants' vulnerabilities and needs, in collaboration with local universities, to develop capacities on climate-induced migration in order to support local policies (Output 1.1). The project will culminate in a high-level policy dialogue, in which the assessment findings will be discussed with the Government and key stakeholders to support the development of relevant government policies to protect environmental migrants, raise awareness of and better manage environmental migration (Output 1.2).
