Over 24 months, the proposed project aims to mainstream the migration, environment and climate change nexus into national adaptation planning. Firstly, IOM Moldova, together with the University of Vienna, will assess how, when and where migration – in its different forms – contributes to climate change adaptation and climate resilience, with a special focus on slow-onset hazards. Secondly, IOM Moldova will support the Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Development, and Environment to develop their contributions to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s work plan on human mobility in the context of climate change, and will foster an inter-ministerial dialogue with the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Finance on the migration, environment, and climate change nexus within the framework of the National Adaptation Plan 2 (NAP-2) and Agriculture Sectoral Adaptation Plan (Ag.SAP). This includes awareness-raising, policy advice and technical guidance, capacity development, stakeholder consultations and raising visibility. It is expected that the initiative will contribute towards migration being more mainstreamed into the national policies on climate change and the environment, as well as the first steps being taken on unlocking the potential of migration to support climate action and adapting to climate change.
