Policy and Advocacy Recommendations
Policy Recommendations
Relocation with a Gender Lens
Consider women, and especially women-headed households, as a priority group for advocacy and support when it comes to mobility/relocation.
Support Resilience for Safer Moves
Support individual and household resilience efforts, such as those in the area of livelihood, so people have a real option to move to safer areas.
Livelihood-Centered Climate Policy
Create and implement environmental protection policies and programs that sufficiently take into account the livelihood of communities.
Redefine Inclusion of Danger Areas
Redefine danger areas to include those that are susceptible to disasters and climate change impacts, including slowonset ones.
Advocacy Recommendations
Mental Health in Climate Crisis
Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) needs to be better prioritized in disaster response and recovery, especially in the wake of major sudden-onset disasters.
Water = Right to Health
Access to water and sanitation in island and coastal communities should be seen as a human right that is equally demandable as the right to health.
Financial Equity for Climate Loss and Damage
Transform financial systems by establishing equitable financial flows of the Loss and Damage fund for climate vulnerable communities.
