Preventing Forced Migration and Adapting to Climate

Developed by the Mainstreaming Migration into International Cooperation and Development project, this video demonstrates the importance of integrating migration into environment and climate change programming. 

Climate change is occurring at rates much faster than anticipated and its effects are clearly felt worldwide. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Small Island Development States of the Pacific.

Carlon is a student in the Republic of the Marshall Islands who knows that climate change is threatening the future of his country. More frequent and stronger high tides, and prolonged droughts, are already changing the social fabric in which he is growing up. Carlon joins those raising their voices to advocate for climate action to prevent forced migration.
