This session explores what cities can do before climate pressures become displacement pressures and how they can support those who move, those who wish to move but lack the resources, and the communities that receive them. The discussion will highlight inclusive approaches to service provision, planning and livelihoods, and examine how partnerships with communities, civil society, national governments, development partners and financial institutions can strengthen and scale locally led action, particularly in times of uncertainty regarding global priorities and climate finance.
