Diaspora Expertise and Networks, Practical Lessons for Climate Readiness
How do countries prepare for meaningful diaspora participation in climate action?
This DCI infographic draws on the Diaspora Climate Readiness Index to highlight diaspora participation through climate expertise, research collaboration, university partnerships, climate initiatives, adaptation, resilience, and technical assistance. The visual connects these opportunities with six priorities for improving diaspora climate readiness.
Six Priorities for Readiness
Policy commitment and coordination, diaspora climate expertise networks, a dedicated diaspora office or institutional focal point, university and R&D collaboration, climate initiatives and partnership pathways, and verified delivery and measurable outcomes.
These priorities are DCI recommendations informed by the Diaspora Climate Readiness Index. They provide a starting point for governments, diaspora organizations, climate institutions, funders, and development partners assessing institutional preparation for diaspora participation in climate action.
