Nearly 90 million displaced people exposed to climate risks, UNHCR warns

Nearly 90 million forcibly displaced people are living in countries increasingly threatened by climate hazards, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This report, released ahead of the COP31 summit, highlights the growing overlap between armed conflict, forced displacement, and climate change. The UNHCR warns that climate adaptation in fragile and displacement-affected areas is a matter of survival, and calls for greater climate adaptation funding to reach the most vulnerable communities.
