Bangladesh has underscored migration as an important climate adaptation strategy for addressing the growing challenges of climate-induced displacement, while calling for stronger international cooperation to enhance resilience and protect human dignity.
The issue was highlighted during a recent meeting between Bangladesh Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Nahida Sobhan, and Amy Pope, Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The discussions focused on the interconnected challenges of climate change, migration, and sustainable development.
Climate-induced displacement continues to be a major driver of human mobility, particularly in countries that are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
Bangladesh emphasized that well-managed migration can serve as a practical and effective adaptation measure, helping affected communities build resilience and access new opportunities.
During the meeting, Ambassador Nahida Sobhan congratulated Amy Pope on the successful completion of the International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) and the publication of the World Migration Report 2026, according to the Bangladesh Mission in Geneva.
