**Context**

Climate change is driving unprecedented human mobility worldwide, with an estimated 218 million internal displacements due to weather-related disasters over the past decade (IOM 2024 report “Who are Climate Migrants?”). Each year, around 21.6 million people are displaced by hazards such as floods, storms, wildfires, and droughts. To address these challenges, IOM’s Climate Mobility Innovation Lab (CMIL) develops scalable solutions, including the Risk Index for Climate Displacement to anticipate future hotspots and the Climate Catalytic Fund to support quick-impact, locally led resilience projects. These efforts aim to strengthen anticipatory responses and protect vulnerable communities in a rapidly warming world. Building on CMIL methodologies, IOM seeks to strengthen understanding of climate impacts on migration and displacement through innovative approaches.

Under the overall supervision of the Head of the Climate Mobility Innovation Lab and in coordination with the Project Coordinator, the Climate Mobility Innovation Officer (Systems Development, Monitoring & Evaluation) will provide the CMIL with technical support on systems development, country contextualisation, implementation, monitoring, and learning processes of IOM’s Climate Catalytic Fund (CCF) and other CMIL activities across different regions, and community-based climate resilience activities in Asia and the Pacific, and monitoring and evaluation.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is part of the United Nations (UN) System as the leading inter-governmental organization promoting since 1951 humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all, with 174 member states and a presence in over 100 countries.
