| description | This report explores the interrelations between irregular migration and the impacts of climate change from a gender perspective in Guatemala, drawing on knowledge-based evidence and local experiences. This research was motivated by the notable absence of a comprehensive study focused on Guatemala that integrates an intersectional gender approach to examine migration related to climate change.
The main objective of the study was to identify the principal drivers and root causes of irregular migration in Guatemala among different population groups, including women, boys, girls, persons with disabilities, and Indigenous peoples, and to understand in detail how these groups are affected by climate change. It examines the interrelations between climate variability and change and its impacts on women and men´s human security including the security of food, health, livelihoods, education, and personal security risks, in particular gender-based violence, and in turn how this can contribute to irregular migration. In addition, the study sought to identify local solutions for building resilience and social cohesion to help address the main causes of irregular migration identified within the affected communities. |
