Dina Ionesco has over 25 years of work experience at international level, with the International Organization on Migration (IOM, UN Migration), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, UN Climate Change), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF&V20), in the non-governmental sector, academia and as an independent consultant.

Ionesco spearheaded the work on migration and climate change at IOM, for more than a decade, establishing the first UN migration, environment and climate change-focused division and IOM’s first environmental sustainability program. Her work contributed to the groundbreaking recognition of migration in the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, in 2015, and to the important inclusion of environmental and climate issues in the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) in 2018, with a focus on guiding innovative policy options to protect migrants. Ionesco has worked on this topic also with CVF&V20 where she created the Migrants4Climate Award and with the UN Climate Change Secretariat (UNFCCC).

Ionesco’s work led to the operationalization of the migration and climate change nexus, through numerous programs and projects worldwide, including some multimillion projects, implemented with a wide range of donors and partners, and impacting policy makers, researchers, communities and migrants. Ionesco initiated, produced and co-authored numerous publications and articles, including the flagship publication the Atlas of Environmental Migration, and was awarded in 2016 the distinction “Inspirational woman working to protect the environment” at the initiative of UN Environment, the Geneva Environment Network and the Swiss Confederation.

A Romanian and French national, Ionesco is trained in Business Studies with a Post-Graduate Diploma from the London School of Economics (U.K.), in European Studies, with a master’s degree from Sussex University (U.K.) and graduated from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris (France).

Ionesco is passionate about human rights, the protection of nature, migration, gender, education, mental health and art. She regularly contributes to artistic projects and draws cartoons and children’s illustrations.

Ionesco has co-created, co-directs and teaches in the Master of Arts in Migration, Climate Change and the Environment (MAMCE), at Webster Geneva Campus.
