This document, prepared by the Advisory Group on Climate Change and Human Mobility and the Loss and Damage and the Challenges of Human Mobility and Displacement Working Group, provides key messages on migration, displacement, and planned relocation, for key agenda items, workstreams and events at the 2026 June Climate Meetings.
The messages have been endorsed by over 110 organisations and individuals, including civil society organisations, United Nations agencies, academics and experts. In addition to the messages, the groups have provided an advocacy reference document which unpacks in greater detail the entry points on human mobility for each relevant agenda item, providing context and longer messages.
