Internal Migration and Climate Resilience in India: Are current policies and interventions providing adaptive social protection?
This report reviews 94 interventions at the national, state (Karnataka and Kerala), and city levels (Bengaluru and Kochi) to assess whether current development, labour, and climate change policies and programmes recognise and address the needs of internal migrants. It also evaluates whether these interventions help build the adaptive capacities of people on the move. The analysis uses the Adaptive Social Protection framework—which integrates social protection, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction—to examine whether social protection systems in a climate-affected India are flexible and responsive enough to support migrants.
