UN says three-quarters of displaced people live in climate danger zones

The UN refugee agency reported that three-quarters of the world's displaced people live in countries facing severe climate-related hazards, with nearly 90 million refugees and forcibly displaced people at risk. Weather-related disasters caused over 255 million internal displacements worldwide in the past decade, and only 10 percent of global climate finance goes to fragile, conflict-affected countries hosting large displaced populations. UNHCR will urge governments at COP31 in Turkey to include refugees in national climate plans and financing.
