The International Organization for Migration (IOM), in partnership with QED42, has developed an interactive data visualization tool for the United Nations to address the impact of climate change on global migration patterns. Revealed at the COP28 summit, the tool employs sophisticated 3D mapping and dynamic data charting to forecast areas at risk from climate hazards like floods and droughts.

Designed to facilitate data-driven decisions and foster international collaboration, the tool offers an intuitive interface with user-friendly features that simplify complex data for non-experts. It was crafted using agile methodologies and leverages technologies such as d3.js and Drupal CMS, with QED42 also implementing a manual batch process for easy data updates. This pioneering project aims to enable international organizations to allocate resources and provide targeted support to vulnerable populations efficiently.
