Assessment of the OHCHR project on addressing the Human Rights, Migration and Climate Change Nexus in the Sahel region: CLIMIS

Agency

Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

Overview

The CLIMIS project, launched by OHCHR in 2020, aims to address the human rights implications of climate change-induced displacement in the Sahel region, specifically in Niger, Nigeria, and Mauritania. It is a cross-sectoral project spanning two thematic units, with management divided between OHCHR Headquarters (HQ), its Regional Office for West Africa (WARO), and country presences in Niger, Mauritania, and Nigeria. Its objectives are to identify human rights protection gaps in the context of climate-induced migration in the Sahel region, promote a human rights-based and gender-sensitive approach to migratory challenges caused by climate change, and support inclusive climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts in the Sahel region. CLIMIS maintains a commitment to combat discrimination and focuses on the human rights of specific groups including women, persons with disabilities, young people, and people of African descent
