    Abstract Worldwide, climate-sensitive livelihoods (such as farming, fishing and herding) are under pressure from changes in weather patterns. As people observe these changes, they undertake adaptive measures with the goal of avoiding or reducing the negative impacts of climatic stressors on their development goals (like food consumption, livelihood diversification, education and health). This chapter explores the factors that affect climate sensitivity and migration decisions, and how these factors relate to adaptation mainstreaming.
