Did you know that by 2050, up to 86 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa could be forced to migrate within their countries due to the slow-burning effects of climate change?

Climate migration isn’t just about people fleeing disasters. It’s about shrinking farmland, vanishing water sources, and fragile livelihoods pushing vulnerable communities—especially youth and women—into desperate decisions.

For many rural youth, a future in agriculture is no longer sustainable. But innovative, climate-smart solutions are making a difference. In northern Nigeria, switching from firewood to solar-powered meat processing created jobs, curbed deforestation, and even brought young people back from the cities.

The problem is complex—but the solutions can be transformative. Investing in human capital, creating green jobs, and pushing for bold climate action today will determine the stability of entire communities tomorrow.

At PROSDOMA, we are committed to this vision—supporting sustainable agriculture in Africa , building climate awareness in Alberta , and helping newcomers thrive through job training, food security support, and eco-conscious programs.

Let’s not wait for climate migration to peak. Let’s act now, together. Join PROSDOMA in promoting resilience, sustainability, and inclusive growth across borders.

Extreme weather isn’t just a forecast — it’s forcing people to leave their homes

From the devastating wildfires in Maui to the prolonged drought in the Horn of Africa, climate disasters are uprooting millions. In 2022 alone, 3.2 million adults in the U.S. were displaced due to disasters. And worldwide, the numbers are even more staggering.

Climate change interacts with existing vulnerabilities — poverty, conflict, and food insecurity — creating a powerful push to migrate. Whether it’s flooding in Pakistan, back-to-back hurricanes in Central America, or unbearable heat in Phoenix, people are moving in search of safety.

Yet climate migrants are often left without legal protections. There’s still no formal recognition of their status, no clear migration pathways, and very limited support systems.

But there is hope. Initiatives like the Climate Displaced Persons Act propose new frameworks — including legal pathways for migration and investments in global resilience

At PROSDOMA, we believe migration should never be a life-threatening decision. That’s why we support displaced individuals — from newcomers in Alberta to climate-affected communities in Africa — by offering tools to build safer, more sustainable lives.

Let’s raise awareness and advocate for just and compassionate solutions. Join us in supporting sustainable migration pathways and climate resilience.

Get involved with PROSDOMA. Together, we can create a future where no one is left behind.

Climate change is already reshaping our world, and migration is becoming an increasingly essential adaptation strategy. Extreme weather events like floods, storms, and wildfires are displacing millions of people, especially in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and small island nations. But, as the latest UN climate report suggests, migration could be more than just a problem—it can be a solution.

A Plan for the Future: The key to turning climate migration into a positive adaptation strategy lies in preparation. When migration is planned, supported, and legal, it offers a chance for people to rebuild their lives. From securing jobs to sending money back home, migration can help individuals and families become more resilient.

Creating Opportunities: For migration to succeed as a solution, we need better infrastructure, social services, and labor rights protection for migrants. It’s about ensuring dignity, access to healthcare, education, and jobs in their new homes. Rather than resisting migration, governments can invest in these systems, creating a smoother transition for both newcomers and host communities.

Prosdoma’s Role: At Prosdoma, we’re working to support newcomers in Alberta by connecting them with resources, job search assistance, legal aid, and more. As we focus on sustainable development, we recognize the importance of migration in adapting to climate change. Together, we can create a future where both newcomers and local communities thrive.

Join the Conversation: What do you think? How can we better prepare for climate migration? Share your thoughts and let’s work towards a sustainable future for all.

The 2025 UN SDG Report reveals a sobering truth: only 15% of SDG targets are on track, while nearly half are moderately or severely off course. Global crises — from COVID-19 and conflict to climate shocks, have pushed progress into reverse, widening inequality, stalling climate action, and deepening poverty.

Yet amidst the setbacks, the report also highlights pockets of resilience and opportunity. Countries that have prioritized social protection, digital inclusion, and climate finance are showing measurable improvements — proving that progress is still possible with the right investments and partnerships.

At PROSDOMA, we echo the report’s call: “rescue the SDGs through transformation.” That means going beyond business-as-usual. We need bold reforms, equity-driven policies, and grassroots innovation to shift the current trajectory.

✅ What Can Be Done?

1️⃣ Reallocate Financing for Equity

Redirect global funding toward the most vulnerable regions and social sectors.

2️⃣ Accelerate Climate and Energy Action

Prioritize clean energy access and resilient infrastructure in the Global South.

3️⃣ Strengthen Local Governance

Empower communities to lead solutions tailored to their realities.

4️⃣ Promote Digital and Social Protection Inclusion

Expand access to e-services, education, and safety nets for all.

The goals are still within reach but only if we act together, and now.

What if economic growth didn’t harm the planet—or leave people behind?

Despite massive investments in sustainable efforts since 2015, we still face alarming inequality and environmental damage. Two-thirds of global wealth created since 2020 went to the richest 1%, while most people still earn less than $10 a day.

It’s clear: our 20th-century economy isn’t fit for the 21st-century world.

A new vision, Sustainomy, offers hope. It’s an economy built on the three Ps: Prosperity, People, and Planet. Instead of choosing between growth and sustainability, it balances both.

 Here’s how we can get there:
– Move from “Artificial” to “Authentic” Intelligence—using AI to enhance, not replace, human skills like creativity and ethics.

– Invest in human capital by meeting basic needs and improving education and job security.

– Build resilient industries that mix essentials like infrastructure with clean energy and innovative solutions.

– Empower SMEs and middle-income communities, which already drive most jobs and consumer demand globally.

At PROSDOMA, we believe this vision is more than theory—it’s action. Whether supporting newcomers in Alberta or promoting sustainable agriculture in Africa, we strive to connect people with opportunities that benefit society and the environment.

 Let’s build an economy that works for everyone—together.
