Born Global (BG)’s Post

CIFAL York is proud to announce the Climate Change Displacement Dialogue presented in partnership with the York University Centre for Refugee Studies, Y-EMERGE (York Emergency Mitigation, Engagement, Response, and Governance Institute), CIFAL Philippines, UP Resilience Institute, and Antalya Bilim University! Climate change related displacement is on top of international agenda. Estimates show that climate change related events have been linked to 23.7 million internal displacements worldwide in 2021 and it is estimated that annually 20 million will be displaced. While majority of displacement occur internally, cross border displacement is also happening. The aim of this series is to critically examine the current and future of climate displacement by hearing voices from different parts, sections, and viewpoints. Join us as Dr. Yvonne Su, Director of the Centre for Refugee Studies and Assistant Professor in York University's Department of Equity Studies opens the series with a presentation on "Redefining Climate Frontiers: Migration, Displacement and Global Resilience." This virtual session is being held on Wednesday, September 25th @ 12:00pm ET via Zoom Webinar. Register today and don't miss out on this impactful new series!

📰It's time for the EU to adopt human migration policies 📰 Migration and climate change are more interconnected than ever but the EU just adopted a policy reform that funds crackdowns on people seeking refuge 🌍 In our latest edition we deep dive in the controversial EU Pact on Migration and Asylum and feature a reflection from Lingxin Tiyo on restoration and connection to nature ✍ 🌿 Read more 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dFi3eFde Oxfam EU office International Rescue Committee #eupact #migration #climateaction

Tip of the proverbial iceberg…by 2050 we’ll have 1.2 billion climate refugees globally (IEP, 2020). This is a complex human issue that requires collective action from governments, NGOs, corporations, and individuals. #climateactionnow

WE (Philippines) ARE "PENNILESS" indeed- but mind you; we have the "RICHEST IDEAS AND IDEALS" of the FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY in southeast Asia. . BECAUSE WE HAVE JUST ABOUT THE RICHEST NATURAL RESOURCES IN WITHIN OUR SOUVEREIGN BOUNDARIES. . . AND FILIPINOS CARE; WE PARTICIPATE IN WORLD AFFAIRS in as much as we PROVIDE SERVICES BY OUR FILIPINO OVERSEAS WORKERS - IN ALMOST ALL FIELDS OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR; such as becoming an Astronaut to medical field and domestic help. as well; and so many fields more. YET I WISH TO BE SPECIFIC NOW: We can initiate "CLIMATE MITIGATION ACTIONS". Livelihood among our FILIPINO PEOPLE. Ideological UNITY FOR ALL. (Like our LOVE OF CULTURE AND TRIBAL CIVILIZATION which set our NATIONAL UNITY at par with the rest of the WORLD ; THIS IS THE FILIPINO WAY".

For this year's #WorldEnvironmentDay, I spoke to some of my colleagues at IOM - UN Migration in Nairobi to find out what actions they are taking to reduce land degradation, as this is one of the drivers of forced migration. Our individual actions reflect the bigger picture in sustaining land restoration efforts to effectively address the impacts of land degradation on migration. Let us all act towards being a part of #GenerationRestoration! Sumaya Adan, Moses Otunga, Eva Noma Sibanda, Tagan Hackart, Donald Omondi, Lisa Lim Ah Ken, Noora Mäkelä, Jyri Jäntti

Today, we recognize the strength of the human spirit and the power of empathy. Let’s keep the spirit of humanitarianism alive. World Humanitarian Day! #Colorshine #ColorshineSteel #SteelThatDeliversTrust #HumanitarianDay #WorldHumanitarianDay #WorldHumanitarianDay2024

The Hidden Cost of Overfishing: Lives Lost, Economies Shattered and Illegal Migration As European and Chinese fishing vessels continue to deplete West African waters, the human toll of overfishing becomes increasingly apparent. In 2024 alone, over 13,000 migrants risked their lives crossing from West Africa to the Canary Islands - a staggering 502% increase from the previous year, to this date. This surge in dangerous migration is directly linked to the collapse of local fishing industries. West African nations lose an estimated $9.4 billion annually to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Meanwhile, the EU and China reap enormous profits from their fishing agreements with these countries. The EU pays a mere 8% of the catch value to West African nations for access to their waters, while Chinese vessels operate with minimal oversight. The human cost is devastating. In the first quarter of 2024, 119 migrants died or went missing attempting the perilous journey to Europe. This tragedy is compounded by the loss of over 300,000 artisanal fishing jobs in West Africa due to illegal fishing. Ironically, as local livelihoods crumble, the EU recently signed a €7.4 billion aid deal with Egypt, ostensibly to curb irregular migration. This sum pales in comparison to the economic damage inflicted by years of exploitative fishing practices. The global fishing industry's dark underbelly is further exposed by a recent study revealing that over 100,000 fishing-related deaths occur each year worldwide. Many of these fatalities are linked to desperate measures taken by impoverished fishers pushed to the brink by depleted stocks. As fish populations dwindle - with 34% of global stocks already overfished and 60% maximally exploited - the cycle of poverty, migration, and death intensifies. It's time for meaningful action to protect West African waters and the communities that depend on them. https://lnkd.in/eCBzECsY #OverfishingKills #MigrationCrisis #IUU #illegalmigration #sustainabledevelopment #WestAfrica #SustainableFishing #socialjustice #Ocean #IUU
