Description

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it is already reshaping lives and communities around the world.

Extreme weather – from unprecedented tornadoes to rising seas and creeping desertification – is forcing millions on the run, often within their own countries.

At COP30 in Belém this week, Ugochi Daniels, Deputy Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), stressed the importance of local, people-centred solutions.

“Early warning systems, predictable funding, and locally led adaptation are critical,” she told UN News’s Felipe de Carvalho.
