Kampala Ministerial Declaration adopted

Kampala Ministerial Declaration adopted

• The Kampala Ministerial Declaration on Migration, Environment, and Climate Change (KDMECC) is a significant agreement adopted by 48 African countries to address the complex relationship between human mobility and climate change. This declaration, initially signed by 15 African states in 2022, provides an action-oriented framework for member states to manage climate-induced migration effectively.

• Climate change in Africa intensifies extreme weather events, causing environmental degradation, food scarcity, and livelihood loss. This compels people to migrate within their countries or across borders in search of safety, better living conditions, and opportunities. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre reported over 7.5 million new internal disaster displacements in Africa last year alone.
