The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has issued a stark warning about the potential displacement of millions due to increasing climate-related disasters and a severe funding shortfall to address these challenges.
In a recent statement, the IOM reported approximately 30 million cases of displacement in 2025 caused by storms, floods, and other natural disasters. The organization emphasized that developing countries will require around 365 billion dollars annually by 2035 to adapt to climate change. However, international funding allocated for this purpose only reached 26 billion dollars in 2023.
The IOM has called for an increase in climate funding, urging that resources be directed specifically to communities most vulnerable to disasters. The organization warned that the persistent gap between needs and available resources will exacerbate displacement waves in the coming years.
IOM Director General Amy Pope stated that delays in investing in climate adaptation measures force more families to leave their homes. She highlighted the need to shift from emergency disaster response to long-term investments that protect populations and reduce displacement risks.
