Mainstreaming human mobility into Malawi's national adaptation plan process

This briefing note prepared by the Initiative for Climate Action and Development (ICAD) explores the status of Malawi’s NAP process, places human mobility in the context of climate change in Malawi, and uses a gender-responsive approach to identify entry points and opportunities for integrating human mobility—including migration and displacement—into Malawi’s NAP process. Malawi is one of the countries most impacted by climate change in the Southern Region of Africa. The country continues to experience climate-related shocks, environmental degradation, and disasters hampering its economic development and adaptation efforts while contributing to displacement and migration.
