🌍Global challenges require collective solutions.

Across South Asia, floods, storms, and droughts are already happening — disrupting livelihoods and displacing people from the places they once called home.

🤝 With funding from the European Union and led by IOM, the project “A Comprehensive Approach to Climate Mobility in South Asia” is addressing these challenges through improved access to data and evidence, strengthened knowledge and capacities, and better policy integration across 7 countries in Asia: 🇧🇩🇧🇹🇮🇳🇲🇻🇳🇵🇵🇰🇱🇰
