[YOUNGO MIGRATION WG. @YOUNGOMIGRATION]

#COP29Baku In a side event organised by @UNHumanRights, our CP @rabebalouii highlighted how climate change disproportionately impacts young people, women, and children, placing their livelihoods and economic stability at risk and forcing millions from their homes.

Seoul is a reminder that innovation and partnership go together.

Grateful to the Republic of Korea for its support of @UNMigration - and for hosting the Global AI Hub to ensure responsible AI helps protect people before crisis hits. 🇰🇷

Glad to be in Tokyo with Japan's Prime Minister @JPN_PMO, @antonioguterres and heads of agencies as Japan hosts a global @UN leaders’ meeting.

Grateful for Japan’s partnership and its strong support for multilateral cooperation and communities displaced around the world.

Once a single mother facing violence, isolation and limited opportunities, Martha struggled to support her family.

Today she is a leader in her community, helping women build financial independence through education, entrepreneurship and digital skills. https://t.co/1jJx9pD1bZ

Neighboring countries have opened their arms despite their challenges.

We must come together for the people in #Sudan! #SudanNeedsUs

[Ugochi Daniels @daniels_ugochi]

In 2024, 91 million people needed safe #shelter. Tents provide urgent relief, but we must go further. When crises strike, shelters help to:

✅ Protect privacy & health
✅ Boost recovery efforts
✅ Promote stability

Let’s keep supporting this vital work! https://t.co/nWsZYX8ySe

In Port-au-Prince, I met people who’ve been displaced multiple times by violence.
Their resilience is extraordinary. But resilience must not be mistaken for a solution. These communities urgently need protection, shelter, and support. #Haiti 🇭🇹

[IOM East, Horn and Southern Africa 🇺🇳 @IOM_EHSA]

Djibouti is hosting a national dialogue with government and partners to integrate migration into climate change adaptation strategies.

In a region facing recurrent droughts and water scarcity, this is key to integrating climate-induced mobility into national adaptation plans.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

A highlight today: meeting the IOM teams in #Haiti. They work under extreme pressure — in hard-to-reach areas, they're often the only UN presence.
I'm grateful for and humbled by their courage, dedication and commitment to the people we serve.

[IOM Kenya @IOMKenya]

"Kenya, as a country, has been a climate leader in the global space."

Last month's #KDMECC national dialogue in #Kenya provided a platform to discuss national commitments to address #ClimateMigration.

@GovtOfKenya @DanishMFA #KOICA @IOMDenmark @IOM_EHSA

[IOM Kenya @IOMKenya]

Yesterday, IOM held preparatory discussions alongside @Trade_Kenya ahead of the upcoming #SimplifiedTradeRegime negotiations between #Kenya and #Ethiopia, aiming to streamline border procedures, support SMEs and promote equitable trade, particularly benefiting #womentraders.

[IOM Afghanistan @IOMAfghanistan]

“We ask the international community not to look away. These families cannot wait.”

Nearly 60,000 Afghans have been forcibly returned from #Pakistan in just two weeks. Urgent resources are needed to support those arriving with almost nothing.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Two years in, the world has turned a blind eye to #Sudan. That has to change -- now. The Sudanese people are resilient, but they cannot do this alone.
