SPECIAL CMARN WEBINAR
18 JUNE 2025
Decolonising the Climate Mobility Discourse: Towards a Global South School of Thought on Forced Displacement
​
The Global South, including countries in Africa, bears the brunt of forced displacement while hosting the majority of the world’s displaced people. This is particularly true in the context of climate change, which disproportionately impacts developing and low-income countries, despite such countries having contributed the least to greenhouse emissions. Displacement-related policies, solutions, and frameworks emerging from the Global South remain underrepresented in global academic and policy fora. There is an urgent need to center these perspectives and to decolonize the displacement discourse.

The Climate Mobility Africa Research Network (CMARN) is a multidisciplinary, bi-lingual (EN+FR) network of researchers and policy makers working on displacement and migration in the context of disasters and climate change in Africa. CMARN was established in 2021 by researchers from across Africa and beyond with the goal of supporting the advancement of evidence-based law and policy responses to climate mobility in Africa. CMARN promotes policy-relevant research and create opportunities for collaboration and exchange between researchers and policy makers working in a wide range of fields, including: climate change, disaster risk management, migration, free movement of persons, transhumance, human rights, refugee protection, IDP protection and planned relocation.
