CapaCITIES was an initiative that brought together the best Swiss and Indian scientific and implementation experience to turn a critical gap in Indian urban capacity to address climate mitigation and adaptation challenges into a development opportunity. In this context, the study conducted at IIHS focused on what drives in- and out-migration in medium-sized cities in India, how is it experienced by migrants, viewed and constructed within policy, and the strategies that could help reconcile the climate resilience agenda with migration dynamics in cities. It focused on finding policy levers that would align the dynamics around climate change, migration and cities favourably. IIHS researchers also conducted field research and stakeholder consultation as part of this project.
