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.
