Diaspora 4 Climate Action (D4C): Leveraging the Potential of Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change through Diaspora Engagement in Bangladesh, Ghana, Jamaica and the Republic of Moldova Over 24 months, the proposed project aims to strengthen global action on climate change through diaspora engagement with their countries of origin, especially in priority sectors identified in the strategic climate change documents such as National Climate Change Adaptation Strategies and National Adaptation Plans. The project will target four countries which are vulnerable to adverse impacts of climate change – the Republic of Moldova in South-Eastern Europe, Bangladesh in South Asia, Ghana in West Africa and Jamaica in the Caribbean. These are all countries with significant diaspora populations in the UK, who will be engaged as key stakeholders in the project. 
 
During the first phase of the project, IOM will work with national and international experts to assess the opportunities and challenges in engaging diaspora support for climate action in their countries of origin. Assessments and consultations will be conducted in both the target countries and in diaspora communities in the UK. Building on this evidence base, during the second phase of the project, IOM will work closely with relevant government ministries in Bangladesh, Ghana, Jamaica and the Republic of Moldova, and their diaspora communities in the UK, to develop guidance tools and coordination mechanisms to engage the diaspora in climate action in their countries of origin. This will include setting up dialogues and consultations between diaspora groups in the UK and governmental entities in the UK and countries of origin, and the development of country-specific information tools on climate change priorities, to enable diaspora members in the UK to support climate action in their country of origin. A communication strategy will also be developed, with communications products disseminated and activities implemented at the national and local levels to ensure visibility of diaspora engagement in climate action. It is expected that this initiative will contribute to government efforts to address the adverse impacts of climate change and promote sustainable development, through strengthening diaspora engagement in priority sectors identified by national governments and their partners. The project will also create a potential model for other countries to promote the unique role diaspora can play in shaping national climate action policies and interventions alongside governments and other key actors.
