Job Title: MDI Climate Change and Child Displacement Consultancy
Climate Change and Child Displacement – TOR
Migration and Displacement Initiative (MDI)
Save the Children International has an exciting consulting opportunity for you.
“Climate
change (CC) disproportionally impacts children and young people, who
face heightened levels of vulnerability during disasters and situations
of displacement[1]”. Anecdotal
evident suggests that CC-driven child displacement is a big problem
now, and will increase in the future, yet children displaced (or
migrating) by CC have typically been overlooked in research, programming
& advocacy. There’s a pressing need –and clear opportunity – to
respond to this gap.

As
a starting point, SC’s Migration and Displacement Initiative (MDI) is
commissioning an introductory, ‘top line’ global research piece on
climate driven child migration and displacement to build up Save the
Children’s (SC) own knowledge base on the issue – and to inform the
wider global debate. The research is perceived primarily as an ‘evidence
synthesis, gap mapping, and orientation exercise’ leading to the
development of a broader child-focused CC/M&D programming and
research agenda. We will review (i) whether (as we suspect) there are
any unique child vulnerabilities/impact caused by climate-induced
migration & displacement, and if so, (ii) seek to identify the
appropriate policy, research and programming responses.

This
global overview will synthesise currently available research and
evidence on the intersection between climate change-driven
migration/displacement and children, further informed by information
gathered directly from five SC regions. It will employ a methodology
focused on desk-based review, supplemented by illustrative primary
research via key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions
with SC FPs across Members and COs and key stakeholders at the
international and regional levels. In identifying existing knowledge
gaps and opportunities, the report’s recommendations will additionally
function as the foundation for an internal SC ‘road map’ for subsequent
(and potentially child led) programme, policy, advocacy and research on
CC driven child displacement/migration.
