UN Report Highlights Climate Threats to 90 Million Displaced Individuals

A new report from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reveals that nearly 90 million displaced people globally are living in regions increasingly vulnerable to climate-related hazards like droughts, floods, and extreme heat. Released ahead of COP31, the report notes that almost three-quarters of this population resides in highly climate-vulnerable nations such as Afghanistan and Bangladesh. UNHCR is urging increased financial aid to help these communities adapt and facilitate their return home, emphasizing the urgent need for international support.
