Climate change and humanitarian response strategy through Online Volunteering
According to the Green Climate Fund, more than 80% of the working population in Niger relies on agriculture and animal farming, which makes it vulnerable to the effects of climate change. In such context, historic mobility is part of the way of life in West Africa and the Sahel, where population movements must also be understood as an adaptation strategy in the face of environmental changes.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Niger is currently conducting a study to identify, qualify and quantify the effects of environmental changes on mobility patterns.
Driven by the motivation to support the project with a design-thinking strategy for humanitarian response, Nupur Gurjar joined the initiative as an Online Volunteer.
