Through a scoping study, IOM will map the existing studies and practices on climate change adaptation measures that would help Jordan improve the management of human mobility (incl. displacement and migration) in the context of climate change, environmental degradation and disaster risks. As part of the mapping, the study will analyze climate-induced hazards, both extreme weather events and slow onset events, their impacts and implications for human mobility in Jordan and how climate change adaptation measures can avert and minimize displacement and forced migration through building the resilience of people and communities. The study will provide a way forward for future interventions aimed at supporting the Government of Jordan to increase the resilience of the population, including refugees and migrants. IOM Jordan will also provide technical capacity development on gender-sensitive climate adaptation measures for local policymakers and community leaders in selected governorates, to contribute to the improvement of adaptation capacity.
