The Global Report on #InternalDisplacement by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) has been released and the numbers keep rising.
26.4 million people were displaced due to extreme weather events and natural disasters with 3.7 million belonging to South Asia.
As much as it's important to learn about the 'big numbers' associated with #HumanMobility due to #ClimateChange, it is also important to understand the complex socio-economic challenges faced by people due to #conflicts and #disasters.
These large figures must not overshadow the local-level #vulnerabilities faced by people across the globe. Improvement in #predicting migration patterns, better understanding of the socio-economic and legal consequences of migration and displacement, and #financialsupport measures must be explored to build the adaptive capacity of people who are at risk of displacement.
In such a scenario, the Risk Index for Climate Displacement is a welcome step by IOM Asia Pacific.

The conflict in Gaza is not just a human tragedy but also an environmental catastrophe. Currently, nearly 20,000 people, including over 7,000 children, are confirmed killed, with many more feared buried under the rubble, and almost 2 million displaced. Additionally, the use of white phosphorus munitions and heavy bombing are inflicting irreversible harm on the environment, further endangering human health.
Amidst our ongoing global environmental crisis, this situation in Gaza underscores the critical need for cooperation and peace. We must ask ourselves, how much devastation must occur before we say #enoughisenough? In a time when unity and collaborations are crucial, the continuation of such destruction and disregard for life is both heartbreaking and incredibly alarming.

We need to talk about this, but most of us don't want to. Not because we're xenophobic, but because the problem is almost too big to compute. But when we are planning water resource management, flood risk management, food security and more, we have a responsibility to at least consider the possibility that we will be welcoming millions more people to live in the UK by 2050 and we need to include that in our planning. Don't we? This is a quote from the report, but please read it if you can find the time. 'Even the very cautious IOM estimates between “25 million and 1 billion environmental migrants by 2050…with 200 million being the most widely cited estimate”.
