72 Global Recommendations on Nationality and Statelessness in the Context of Climate Change PART B 8. THE WAY FORWARD 8.4 At the same time, some actions will require more focused follow-through, including the establishment of accessible statelessness determination procedures, adoption of facilitated pathways to naturalisation where appropriate, and inclusion of safeguards in arrangements that facilitate safe, informed, and dignified cross-border movements and solutions. 8.5 Not all of these steps will require substantial new resources; however, some will require additional and sustained investments. Given differentiated capacities, low-income and small island countries and territories in particular will need climate finance and targeted support upon which the timely and effective implementation of these Global Recommendations will depend. 8.6 Finally, implementing the Global Recommendations is not a peripheral exercise: it is part of the urgent need to adapt, prepare and respond to climate change, particularly given the disproportionate and unjust impacts on countries and people in highly vulnerable situations. Indeed, statelessness is one of the clearest preventable protection risks associated with climate impacts, human mobility, and questions of statehood. The Global Recommendations are developed to help ensure that nationality laws and civil registration systems, climate change laws and policy, disaster risk reduction and response, and frameworks that govern human mobility are inclusive, human rights-based and capable of protecting those most at risk of being left behind. 73
