Climate Mobility in South Asia: Urban Challenges and Human Impact

This panel will explore the growing issue of climate mobility in South Asia, focusing on its impact on major urban centres like Karachi and Mumbai.

As climate change intensifies, cities are increasingly faced with challenges like rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and resource scarcity, which are driving both internal and cross-border migration. Experts from across the region will discuss how these factors are reshaping urban populations, straining infrastructure, and exacerbating social and economic inequalities. The session will also highlight adaptation strategies, policy responses, and the role of regional collaboration in addressing the human and environmental consequences of climate mobility.
