STRENGTHENING THE EVIDENCE BASE FOR HUMAN MOBILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN WEST AFRICA: GENDER, YOUTH AND CLIMATE MOBILITY

Climate change is reshaping livelihoods, communities and mobility patterns across West Africa. But how well do we understand these changing realities, and are our policies responding to the needs of those most affected?

At COP31, the ECOWAS Commission is bringing together policymakers, climate experts, civil society, women leaders and young people to explore how stronger evidence can inform more inclusive responses to climate-related human mobility.

The conversation will spotlight the role of gender and youth, regional cooperation, and the importance of turning data and research into practical policy action.
