IOM Caribbean IOM – UN Migration Agency
Regional Office for Central America, North America and the Caribbean.

Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading
intergovernmental organization in the field of migration and is committed to the principle
that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society. IOM is part of the
United Nations system, as a related organization. IOM supports migrants across the world, developing effective responses to the shifting
dynamics of migration and, as such, is a key source of advice on migration policy and
practice. The Organization works in emergency situations, developing the resilience of all
people on the move, and particularly those in situations of vulnerability, as well as building
capacity within governments to manage all forms and impacts of mobility. The Organization is guided by the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United
Nations, including upholding human rights for all. Respect for the rights, dignity and well-being of migrants remains paramount

At IOM's 12th Conversations on Migration in the Caribbean, Sasha Jattangsingh of Climate Analytics Caribbean stressed that one of the region's biggest challenges is the lack of standardized data to understand and measure these impacts.

A common regional framework for loss and damage could help ensure climate mobility is no longer treated as an afterthought, but tracked, understood, and addressed through coordinated action.

Too often, people assume they know what persons with disabilities need instead of including them in the planning. Cheryl Adams, Chairperson of Voice of the Disabled and Caribbean Women with Disabilities speaking during Episode 12 of IOM's Conversations on Migration in the Caribbean, called for disability-inclusive planning and decision-making in the face of climate change and displacement.

🌪️ Preparedness matters.

Across the Caribbean, IOM is helping strengthen emergency preparedness and response systems alongside governments, CDEMA - Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency, regional partners and local responders.

With support from EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid , countries are enhancing expertise in emergency shelters, humanitarian coordination, displacement tracking, needs assessments and recovery planning.

And when major disasters strike, IOM stands ready to support communities and governments with practical expertise, humanitarian assistance and recovery support. 🤝

Sasha Jattansingh of Climate Analytics Caribbean revealed on last week's in the Caribbean that despite being among the world's smallest states, Caribbean countries are helping to shape how Loss & Damage is measured and understood.

📌Communities are not just participants in resilience planning. They are sources of knowledge and solutions. 💡✅🫱🏽‍🫲🏽 “Consultation doesn't mean that you're presenting a plan and then we are running with it. The communities, they have identified the solutions, and so it's really best for us to rely on the local knowledge in moving forward.”

Dainalyn Swaby-Bryan of the Jamaica Network of Rural Women Producers shared this powerful message during our latest CONVERSATIONS on Migration in the Caribbean, focused on “Migration in the Age of Rising Winds & Seas.”

Have we understood enough about the special needs of people with disabilities in times of disaster? As individuals, have we thought about our neighbours with disabilities and how they need our assistance before, during, or after a storm?

In this week's 12th episode of CONVERSATIONS on Migration in the Caribbean, Cheryl Cobbler-Adams of Voice of the Disabled - VOD in Saint Vincent & the Grenadines advocated for increased involvement of people with disabilities in the process of planning for increased community resilience.
