The Report

The At Risk Environmental Mobility in African Coastal Cities report distills a participatory research process and critical learning about migrant lives in some of Africa’s largest coastal cities; Accra, Ghana, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Monrovia, Liberia and Freetown, Sierra Leone. With a focus on climate mobility, the research highlights adaptation outcomes of migration and documents the environmental risk experienced by migrant communities. Findings from the community-led data collection highlight the role of low-income neighborhoods as in-migration hot spots within cities. In those areas, the life of migrants and hosts is shaped by both immobility and recurring mobility due to the compounding environmental risks.
