**_ Context:_**

IOM has been engaged in migration, environment, climate change and disaster risk reduction
efforts since the early 1990s. IOM’s vision is to support States in their efforts to achieve safe,
orderly, and regular international migration and to ensure that all people on the move and those
internally displaced by the adverse impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, and
disasters, are assisted and protected. In this regard, IOM's activities reinforce local and national
initiatives to prevent and prepare for disasters and related population movements, provide
emergency assistance and protection where displacement cannot be avoided, and foster
post-disaster recovery solutions and resilience-building.

In line with IOM’s Strategic Plan 2024-2028, the Climate Road Map and the Institutional
Strategy on Migration, Environment and Climate Change 2021-2030, IOM’s Climate Change
programming is informed by the following
three broad objectives in managing environmental migration, intervening at each stage of the
migration cycle:
1. “Solutions for people to move” - Managing migration in the context of climate change,
environmental degradation, and disasters due to natural hazards.
2. “Solutions for people on the move” - Assisting and protecting migrants and displaced persons
in the context of climate change, environmental degradation, and disasters due to natural
hazards.
3. “Solutions for people to stay” - Making migration a choice by building resilience and
addressing the adverse climatic and environmental drivers that compel people to move.

Under the overall supervision of the Deputy Director General for Operations and direct
supervision of the Director of Climate Action, the Chief, Climate Action Unit, in collaboration with
other Climate Action Division (CAD) colleagues, (Regional Thematic Units) RTUs and relevant
units, will lead and set strategic engagement and policy advocacy to international fora notably
the Conference of Parties for diferent UN conventions on Climate, Desertification and
Biodiversity, advancing international Climate Mobility Frameworks, and oversee IOM’s policies,
partnerships and programmes related to climate mobility and actions, Early Warning (EW4AI),
Platform for Displacement (PDD) within UN system on climate and environmental action at
policy and advocacy levels for displaced persons and migrants. Leveraging IOM’s powerful
advocacy, operational expertise and evidence, also champion IOM’s role in the new Loss &
Damage Fund, new and existing climate funds and the Migration Multi-Partner Trust Fund
(MPTF) among other finance related partnerships and initiatives.

**_ Core Functions / Responsibilities:_**

1. Stimulate, catalyze and lead the climate change, environment, disasters, climate security,
desertification and biodiversity engagement of IOM at strategic level to advance the organization
position and vision for human mobility in these contexts with member states, international
bodies and civil society.

2. Develop and promote high-level relationships and liaison with key UN agencies, Academia,
Private sector, expert organizations, strategic stakeholders, and the media to, inter alia, promote
consensus and commitment, and generate and secure new funding to avert, minimize and

3. Advise on Climate Action supports to States and other actors to develop rights-based
