Climate Change Impacts on Health affecting Development and Human Mobility

IOM, as the UN Migration Agency, has an imperative to act on the triple nexus of health, climate change, and mobility: Its Institutional Strategy on Migration, Environment and Climate Change 2021–2030 outlines a comprehensive, evidence and rights-based approach to migration in the context of environmental degradation, climate change and disasters, for the benefit of migrants and societies. Together with IOM’s engagement in migration health, particularly focusing also on resilience, sustainable development, and empowerment, it provides the rationale for action, both at policy and country-level.
