Description

Climate change is increasingly recognised as a major driver of migration, mobility, and displacement, interacting with existing socio-economic inequalities and shaping vulnerabilities in different ways across regions and populations. These processes have important gendered dimensions, influencing household roles, labour participation, autonomy, and well-being for both migrant women and those who remain in places of origin when family members migrate. This scientific panel will examine the relationship between climate change, migration, and gender across diverse forms of mobility, including temporary and circular migration, livelihood-related migration, planned relocation, and displacement. Particular attention will be given to how climate-related mobilities reshape gender relations, household dynamics, and adaptive strategies. Aligned with SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), the panel aims to advance interdisciplinary research, address theoretical and data gaps, and foster collaboration among researchers and policymakers. Through seminars, conference sessions, publications, and capacity-building activities, the panel will promote evidence-based understanding of the gendered impacts of climate-related migration.
