Migration is a common adaptation strategy to maintain and diversify people's livelihoods and will continue to play an important role when households manage climate and social risks  . In the near term, actions that enhance in situ adaptive capacities as well as foster safe and orderly migration can result in synergies for both adaptation and development . Populations that experience less mobility or cannot engage in voluntary migration as an adaptation may need additional support to adapt to climate hazards, for example, northern communities that are at risk of climatic events . Policies associated with the transition from high-GHG intensive extractive industries, sometimes referred to as 'just transitions', may also support in situ livelihoods if they also aim to address and redress existing inequalities to reduce vulnerabilities ; however, these policies could result in maladaptation if they create new inequalities or generate other environmental damages.
