SUMMARY:docUNight: Thank You for the Rain
DESCRIPTION:Book your spot here: Thank You for the Rain. \nWith rising heat\, drought\, and heavy rain in Africa\, how do farmers stay resilient and how does this impact migration? \n\n\nIn 2012\, Kisilu\, a Kenyan farmer\, started capturing the life of his family\, his village\, and the daily realities of climate change on camera. When a violent storm brings him and a Norwegian filmmaker together\, we witness his journey from a father to community leader to global activist. \nJoin us for a screening of the powerful documentary ‘Thank You For The Rain‘ followed by a panel discussion on how migration relates to climate change\, disasters\, and environmental degradation in Africa\, looking at the past decade. \nThank You For The Rain addresses a range of issues linked to climate change\, including climate justice\, urbanisation\, gender equality\, education\, access to water\, climate migration\, and adaptation. \nJust weeks after COP30 in Belém\, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) will examine the critical links between human mobility and climate change – and how communities continue to adapt and stay resilient. \nRun time: 1h 27 minutes \nLanguage: English \nThis event is made possible thanks to the IOM programme on Climate Change and Migration Data (CCMD)\, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION\nPlease bring a valid photo-ID to get through security at UN City and set aside time for the security check prior to the event. \nPlease note that the check-in will open at 16:30 and close at 17:20. \nIt will not be possible to enter UN City after this time. Please DO NOT book tickets under your name for someone else. \nPlease reserve each ticket under each person’s name due to the security check upon entry to UN City. \nRefreshments (soft drinks and snacks) will be available for purchase between 16:30–17:30.

This year’s theme “My Great Story: Cultures and Development” promotes migration as a driver of resilience\, innovation\, and sustainable development. \nThe theme emphasises inclusive governance\, partnerships\, and storytelling to showcase migrants’ contributions to economies\, cultures\, and global progress. It highlights how properly governed migration connects people\, enriches cultures\, and drives sustainable development across origin\, transit\, and destination communities. \nSPECIAL EXHIBITION:\nVisit UN City between 11–19 December and explore a special exhibition featuring a series of photographs showcasing communities in Mauritania under the Climate Change\, Migration\, and Development (CCMD) project. \nThe photo exhibition explores how climate change in Mauritania contributes to reshaping landscapes\, lives\, and migration patterns. Through the lens of photographer Alexander Bee\, it documents the droughts\, sudden floods\, and environmental degradation impacting the decision of people to migrate – or to adapt in place – as traditional livelihoods become harder to sustain. \nThe images highlight both the human face of a changing climate and the resilience of communities working to forge new solutions. They underscore the urgent need for more adaptation finance and people-centred responses. \nThese are essential for migration to remain a choice rather than a necessity and ensure human rights-based climate action. \nIn addition to the photo exhibition\, be part of an interactive world map – by pinning your country of origin and migration pathways – and showcase the diversity of global migration and our shared stories. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nAbout IOM:\nThe International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading intergovernmental organisation within the UN system\, dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration since 1951. \nIOM works to save lives and protect people on the move\, drive solutions to displacement\, and facilitate pathways for regular migration. \nIOM has operations in 171 countries through more than 550 field offices. IOM Denmark manages programmes that promote evidence-based migration governance and safe migration in North\, East\, West\, and Central Africa as well as the Middle East\, with a particular focus on climate change and border governance. These large-scale initiatives\, implemented by IOM globally\, are coordinated closely with the Government of Denmark within its migration framework. \nLearn more about IOM. \nAbout UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre:\nUNEP Copenhagen Climate is a leading international advisory institution on energy\, climate\, and sustainable development. \nIts work focuses on assisting developing countries and emerging economies transition towards more low-carbon development paths and supports the integration of climate resilience in national development. \nLearn more about UNEP-CCC here. \nAbout UN City Copenhagen:\nUN City Copenhagen is a hub for the Sustainable Development Goals where UN agencies collaborate\, share knowledge\, and work with partners from across governments\, the private sector\, academia\, youth networks\, and civil society in the Nordics and around the world.
