IOM Disaster Risk Reduction Report 2021
Increasing numbers of people are displaced or compelled to migrate every year due to disasters and environmental stressors. It is expected that disasters – amplified by factors, such as climate change, unsustainable ecosystem use, conflict, urbanization and water scarcity – will intensify, and that impacts on internal and international population movements will increase in the years to come. As part of its institutional mandate to address mobility dimensions of crisis, IOM is committed to supporting its Member States to reduce risk and build resilience, in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030. In 2017, the Organization elaborated a four-year plan of action on disaster risk reduction programming in support of States’ efforts. This publication is a final stocktaking of progress in the implementation of the plan of action focusing on activities in 2019–2020. Based on a survey of more than 80 IOM projects across eight regions, the report presents key results and impacts in the period, highlights successful projects and approaches, and reflects on the “lessons learned” to consider in future efforts.
