Nearly 90 million displaced people exposed to climate hazards

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has warned that nearly 90 million forcibly displaced people worldwide are currently living in countries facing severe exposure to climate-related hazards. In a new report released ahead of the COP31 climate summit in Turkey, the agency noted that roughly three-quarters of the global displaced population reside in highly vulnerable nations, with many refugees returning to climate-stressed areas. UNHCR highlighted that only about ten percent of international climate finance currently reaches conflict-affected and fragile countries, urging governments and financial institutions to dramatically increase adaptation funding for vulnerable populations.
