On 5 June 2025, World Environment Day highlights the complex links between climate change and human mobility. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) issued statements emphasising both the scale of climate-induced displacement and the growing recognition of migrants’ potential contributions to environmental resilience. Discussions on the role of migrants in addressing environmental challenges have become more prominent, i.a. in a recent MPI podcast dedicated to this topic.
