With Droughts, Migration becomes urgent in the Horn of Africa.

In the Horn of Africa, pastoralists have often moved. The movement is a crucial driver for community resilience. However, the slow onset of events like droughts, desertification, water scarcity, rising sea levels, and coastal erosion has increased climate-induced migration. By 2050, the World Bank says climate change will cause more than 200 million people could migrate, with most movement occurring within countries.

Today, the IOM East and the Horn of Africa migration, environment, and climate change thematic specialists Lisa Lim Akem talks to use about climate-induced migration as drought bites the Horn of Africa countries.
