approximately 80% of all disaster displacement in the world. Some 95% of this displacement occurs due to
climate and weather‐related sudden‐onset disasters such as storms and floods. In light of these dynamics,
IOM recognizes the need to step up national, regional and international efforts to address human mobility
challenges associated with environmental factors and climate change. IOM engages in research, policy and
advocacy efforts, and operational activities to prevent forced migration that results from environmental
factors to the extent possible; to provide assistance and protection to affected populations when forced
migration does occur, and to seek durable solutions to their situation; and to facilitate migration as a
climate change adaptation strategy and enhance the resilience of affected communities.

Human Trafficking and Migration, Environment and Climate Change. IOM activities that cut across these
areas include the promotion of international migration law, research, policy debate and guidance,
protection of migrants’ rights, migration health and the gender dimension of migration.
The Migration, Environment and Climate Change (MECC) Unit in ROAP supports IOM Missions in Asia and
the Pacific in the development of policies and programmes on the migration-environment nexus. The Unit
contributes to building the capacity of IOM staff; provides technical guidance and inputs to IOM country
offices, governments and other agencies working on MECC issues to ensure that environment and climate
change dimensions are integrated into relevant programmes, projects and strategies; and identifies
emerging issues relevant to the thematic area to help strengthen the knowledge base on MECC issues.
