Outline
According to a 2009 forecast by the International Organization for Migration, environmental changes are expected to force 200 million people to relocate by 2050, and in fact migration is progressing at a pace 2.6% faster than the forecast. Under these circumstances, the urgent issue is to develop domestic and international legal systems and social systems that guarantee the safe and orderly movement of migrants and their human rights. In this session, we will present the direction of loss and damage assessment based on the premise of “dignified migration” regarding the evacuation and migration of local residents due to the impact of disasters (flooding, land subsidence, sea level rise, etc.) caused by environmental changes such as climate change in the northern part of Jakarta, Indonesia, and we will also make recommendations for the realization of “transformative adaptation”.
