Migration & Food (In)security

The impact of climate change on food security climate change threatens global food systems through environmental degradation. This leads to reduced crop yields, disrupted food supply chains, and increased food prices, all of which disproportionately affect low-income and vulnerable populations.

​

As food and water resources dwindle, and extreme weather becomes more frequent, millions of people are forced to migrate in search of safety, security, and sustenance. Climate migration is not only a humanitarian crisis but a public health challenge, as displaced populations face heightened health risks.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency Food Recovery Hierarchy prioritizes actions organizations can take to prevent and divert wasted food.

Individual Waste Reduction Model (iWARM) Tool

The iWARM tool developed by the EPA is a downloadable Microsoft Exel file that can be used to find out how much energy is saved by recycling small quantities of common waste materials. 

The Global Migration Data Portal is managed by the Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC) of the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
