90m face climate threats
The UN Refugee Agency warned that around 90 million refugees and displaced people face climate-related threats, with three-quarters living in countries highly exposed to droughts, floods and heatwaves. Weather-related disasters caused more than 255 million internal displacements over the past decade—an average of nearly 70,000 a day—while fragile countries hosting displaced people receive only 10% of global climate finance. The agency forecast that floods in East Africa could displace up to 3 million people in Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan and Uganda by the end of 2026. It called for refugees and displaced people to be included in climate plans and for funding to reach the communities most at risk.
