Context:
The 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP21) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which was held in November 2015, mandated the creation of a Task Force on Displacement (TFD). The TFD was tasked to act as the main global platform on policymaking towards the inclusion of migration issues in the climate change agenda. Since then, the TFD had developed a set of comprehensive recommendations (UNFCCC WIM TFD, 2018). As a party to the UNFCCC, Armenia has a commitment to internalize the recommendations made by the TFD.
In this context, IOM aims to map and analyze to what extent human mobility (pastoralism, migration, displacement and planned relocation) in the context of climate change and environmental degradation is integrated into existing laws, policies and strategies related to environmental degradation, climate change, disaster risk reduction, sustainable development, agriculture, rural development, urban development, gender and human mobility in Armenia. In accordance with the Workplan of the UNFCCC's TFD, the mapping will be conducted “to the extent feasible and on the basis of accessible public documents”. The proposed report will include an analysis of relevant existing laws, policies, and strategies in Armenia. The findings will contribute to the mainstreaming of migration, environment and climate change nexus into the national planning and reporting processes related to the UNFCCC, Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (SFDRR 2015-2030), 2030 Agenda and the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM).

Identify cross-cutting elements among laws, policies, and strategies to foster policy coherence on the migration, environment and climate change nexus in the national planning and reporting on the UNFCCC, SFDRR 2015-2030, 2030 Agenda and GCM. This exercise should also cover the progress on the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (i.e., Objectives 2 and 5);
