The International Organization for Migration (IOM) released yesterday its Libya – Climate Change, Food Security, and Migration Report (June 2025) report.
The report highlights the complex and growing challenges at the intersection of climate change, food insecurity, and migration in Libya.
The report says climate-induced environmental degradation, including rising temperatures, desertification, and declining agricultural productivity, has emerged as a significant driver of food insecurity. Food insecurity in turn shapes migration dynamics, particularly among vulnerable rural populations whose livelihoods are closely tied to natural resources.
The report also underscores how these pressures exacerbate existing social and economic vulnerabilities. By connecting climate, food systems, and mobility, the analysis provides valuable evidence to inform strategies for resilience and adaptation in Libya.
