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.
