This IFRC report, ‘Forced to Flee in a Changing Climate’, highlights concrete ways National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies — and others in impacted communities — are helping people prepare and adapt to climate change, so they can stay safe in their homes or move safely and with dignity on their own terms. The report features 30 case studies from 15 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Africa that are already working across multiple areas—identifying and reducing risks and promoting adaptation, preparing and acting early to reduce needs, providing assistance and protection, and promoting resilient recovery—to help communities adapt to a changing climate. It highlights how the National Red Cross Societies of Uganda, Malawi and South Sudan worked in collaboration with their public authorities to develop a strong legal basis to support communities at risk or displaced by disasters.
