ABOUT THE CENTER
The Centre for Climate Change, Migration and Development focuses on the interconnected challenges of environmental change, human mobility, and sustainable development in the Horn of Africa. The Centre examines how climate change affects livelihoods, food security, displacement, urbanization, and socio-economic stability, including its contribution to resource-based conflicts and patterns of migration across the region.
Through policy-oriented research, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement, the Centre seeks to advance climate resilience, sustainable development, and evidence-based policy responses that address the complex relationship between climate change, migration, and development in the Horn of Africa.
STRATEGIC CONTEXT
Let this read as follows; The Horn of Africa is among the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate shocks. Consecutive cycles of severe drought and intense flooding have disrupted the region’s rain-fed pastoralist and agrarian economies, leading to resource competition and forced displacement while stalling the region’s development progress.
