Third RICD Technical Workshop narrows down climate displacement hotspots in Thailand
The EU‑funded third RICD workshop in Bangkok shortlisted Thailand’s climate displacement hotspots. Upcoming community research with HII will feed into CCF adaptation financing starting December 2026.

Read the articleFrom risk to investment
Future climate mobility and displacement risks can be anticipated and modelled. However, adaptation finance rarely reaches the places where these risks will emerge. IOM's Climate Mobility Offer connects the two, from subnational risk analytics that inform funded local projects and national investment plans.
Risk
RICD
Risk Index for Climate Displacement
Identifies subnational climate displacement hotspots by combining macro-level spatial risk modelling with micro-level community research. Developed through a co-creation network of research institutions, universities, government agencies and other data partners.
Investment
Local
CCF
Climate Catalytic Fund
Match-funded grants for locally-led adaptation in RICD displacement hotspots.
CCF projects graduate into CMIP pipeline; CMIPs finance locally-led adaptation through CCF
National
CMIP
Climate Mobility Investment Plans
National, costed pipelines of bankable projects, co-developed with governments.
Policy and governance Underpinning all three: policy and governance support that translates commitments into concrete action on the ground.
Making adaptation investable
- Climate Mobility Investment Facility. CMIF originates projects for financing through three windows: grant funding, sovereign investment, and private capital.
- Match-funding. CCF grants require local co-financing. Projects that prove themselves can graduate to national, regional and global climate finance.
- Parametric insurance. An emerging workstream tests cover for the investment pipeline, generating avoided-displacement data that strengthens the case for adaptation.Strategic partner
CMIL operates through Regional Labs that anchor risk intelligence and adaptation finance in local contexts.
Africa
CMIL Africa, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, extends the Lab's model to a continent facing some of the world's most severe climate mobility pressures, from recurrent drought in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa to flooding and displacement across East and Central Africa. Working through a co-creation approach with regional organisations, governments, academia, and communities, the Lab is rolling out its risk intelligence tools across five countries and deploying the Climate Catalytic Fund in three, supported by national technical working groups that anchor the work in government systems and priorities. Building on the model first proven in Asia-Pacific, CMIL Africa is positioned to scale evidence-based anticipatory action and adaptation finance across the region.

Asia-Pacific
The Climate Mobility Innovation Lab for Asia and the Pacific is IOM's founding regional lab, established to design and scale the innovative tools now anchoring CMIL's global model. Headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, with a sub-regional presence in Suva, Fiji, the Lab addresses the region's acute exposure to both rapid-onset disasters, such as cyclones and flooding, and slow-onset climate change impacts, including sea-level rise, that are driving displacement across South, East, and Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Since its launch, the Lab's tools have become operational in five countries, with further expansion underway, delivered through a co-creation network of partners spanning national governments, research institutions, and universities across the region.

Mediterranean
CMIL's Mediterranean Regional Lab is in early development, based in Rome, Italy, extending the Lab's approach to a region where climate mobility is shaped by water scarcity, desertification, land degradation, and complex cross-border dynamics linking Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Building on the tools and methods proven in Asia-Pacific and Africa, the Lab is establishing its regional innovation committee, co-creation network, and operational hub, with the CIMA Research Foundation as founding technical partner and support from Italy's MASE through Piano Mattei. Its focus is on adapting risk intelligence and adaptation finance to contexts where slow-onset impacts intersect with long-standing migration routes.
