According to a new report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), approximately 90 million displaced people worldwide live in countries facing severe climate threats, including droughts, floods, and extreme heat.
The report highlights that nearly three-quarters of the world's displaced population reside in countries highly vulnerable to climate change, such as Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
These nations are already grappling with the devastating impacts of environmental shifts, making the situation for displaced individuals even more precarious.
The UNHCR released this report ahead of the upcoming COP31 climate summit, urgently calling for increased international assistance and funding to support displaced communities vulnerable to climate shocks.
Afghanistan, which has suffered from decades of conflict and recent natural disasters, remains one of the most at-risk countries for climate-induced crises.
