Integrating Migration-Related Considerations in Responses to Climate Change in Cambodia Cambodia is among the countries most at risk to the impacts of climate change, which increasingly affect the Cambodian people and key economic sectors. Migration has long been a central strategy for reducing household vulnerabilities to environmental risks and economic shocks, such as crop failures or loss of productive assets, by offering income generation alternatives. However, a focused discussion of the interaction between climate change and migration on the policy level has not been undertaken in Cambodia, partially due to the limited evidence available of the context-specific impacts in Cambodia.   The project's objective is to contribute to strengthening climate change responses in Cambodia through the integration of migration-related considerations into Government policy and planning. Under Outcome 1, a research report on mainstreaming environmental dimensions and linkages between climate change and migration will be made available to guide policy development in Cambodia (Output 1.1) through working closely with the climate change technical working group, establishing technical research team and conducting data collection. The project will improve the key government stakeholders’ understandings of the links between climate change and migration (Output 1.2) through validation meetings, sensitization workshops, and regular coordination meetings and capacity development activities for the member of the climate change technical group. Under Outcome 2, the project will strengthen the capacities of local authorities to avert, minimize and address displacement related to the adverse impacts of environmental and climate change (Output 2.1), and minimize and address the impacts of environmental and climate change on livelihoods in most vulnerable communities (Output 2.2).

2023 Ukraine Response to Support Refugees from Ukraine across Europe On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a broad military offensive in Ukraine. The situation in the country quickly deteriorated, leading to a significant number of Ukrainians and third country nationals forced to flee the country.  Since the onset of the crisis, as of May 2023, an estimated 5,088,000 people remain internally displaced in Ukraine and an estimated 8,255,000 displaced abroad. 
 
Through this project, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing multi-sectoral interventions focused on humanitarian assistance to vulnerable displaced and conflict-affected populations in neighbouring countries hosting refugees from Ukraine. This project is responding to the most urgent needs of migrants, displaced people and affected communities, and mitigating underlying vulnerabilities and risks, through the provision of life-saving assistance and protection support. IOM seeks to contribute to the efforts of countries hosting refugees and third country nationals to enhance their access to services and enable socioeconomic inclusion. This is carried out in coordination with governments and local actors in neighbouring countries to ensure a unified response and enable inclusive practices.
Addressing Human Mobility in a Changing Climate in Mountain Areas of Kazakhstan Mountain areas worldwide are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Average global warming of 1.5º and above is projected to have devastating impacts for mountain systems, including glacier retreat, increase in hazard risk and loss of biodiversity. However, in comparison to Small Island Developing States, mountain countries have not managed to develop collective advocacy efforts that catch the attention of global policymakers and donors. The current and projected impacts of climate change in mountain areas have and will continue to have strong implications in terms of different forms of human mobility.The proposed intervention focuses on the mountainous regions of Kazakhstan, but simultaneously takes a cross-regional approach, by building bridges with a mirror project in Ecuador to promote cooperation and a joint approach to climate change challenges from a human mobility perspective in mountain areas. This will be accomplished through three separate components. First, research and evidence on human mobility in contexts of disasters, environmental degradation and climate change will be developed. Second, the project will conduct capacity development related to human mobility in the context of climate change mountain areas with key stakeholders in Kazakhstan. Finally, the project seeks to support policy development by advancing collaboration between mountain countries and key international stakeholders focused on climate issues in mountain regions.
