A/77/189 persons, children, indigenous peoples and minorities, older persons, persons with disabilities and other groups; (b) Build on lessons, guidance and commitments to address the implications of climate change for migration and to foster people’s resilience to remain in place with dignity or move as a form of adaptation; (c) Improve cooperation between the different policy levels – local, national, regional and global – which is essential to ensure protection throughout the entire migration route, considering that migratory movements generally start as internal movements from rural to urban contexts, but may be subject to secondary relocations and cross-border migration. Involving city administrations and regional organizations in international processes concerning migration and development and including them in resource allocation mechanisms is crucial to meet the objective of the enhanced protection and integration of displaced people and migrants; (d) Ensure that climate action not only reaches climate-vulnerable countries but also reaches people moving in the context of climate change and their host communities, in particular people living in unstable, vulnerable and hard-to-reach areas; (e) Scale up adaptation financing and support for climate action in countries and host community areas in which migrants settle or to which they hope to safely return following their displacement, by strengthening preparedness and building resilience to climate impacts; (f) Apply existing human rights and refugee instruments where there may be the need for international protection when cross-border migration occurs in the context of climate change and disasters; (g) Increase action and support for measures to avert, minimize and address displacement, in particular in the most climate-vulnerable countries and communities, based on their specific needs. In this regard, ensure that human rights are upheld through meaningful and informed voluntary participation in timely relocation schemes; (h) Address data gaps through the collection of disaggregated data, while upholding the right to privacy and data protection. In addition, invest in the collection, analysis and dissemination of sex-disaggregated data and gender statistics on climate change impacts and migratory movements; (i) Develop and implement gender-responsive migration policies that protect and promote the human rights of migrant women and gender non-conforming migrants in the context of climate change. Create genderresponsive regular migration pathways related to climate change which allow for both temporary and permanent migration; (j) Reduce the vulnerability of migrants by promoting regular pathways for migration. These can take the form of visas (humanitarian, work or study), humanitarian corridors established through partnerships with civil society organizations, visa waivers for specific populations, family reunification, regularization mechanisms based on human rights and humanitarian grounds, and temporary protection measures allowing family members to join a relative in a safe country; (k) Take measures to promote access to essential services and take into account the vulnerable situation and specific needs of migrants in the planning, response and recovery phases of emergency management, in particular those of 22/23 22-11278
