Elements of Human Mobility due to Climate Change (HMCC), such as migration and planned relocation, are increasingly being recognised as effective strategies for adaptation. Integration of HMCC into the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) will lead to a better understanding of this issue by developing quantifiable and measurable targets and indicators. HMCC can be integrated into GGA by including it as part of the iterative adaptation cycle, inviting The Taskforce on Displacement in consultations, understanding the inclusion of HMCC in existing NAPs and by broadening the scope of Adaptation Finance.
