No Escape: #ClimateChange is a growing threat to people already fleeing war
12 November 2024
"People forced to flee war, violence and persecution are increasingly finding themselves on the front line of the global climate crisis, a new report warns, exposing them to a lethal combination of threats but without the funding and support to adapt.
"The report, released today by #UNHCR, the #UNRefugeeAgency, in collaboration with 13 expert organizations, research institutions and refugee-led groups, uses the latest data to show how climate shocks are interacting with conflict, pushing those who are already in danger into even more dire situations.
"Of the more than 120 million forcibly #displaced worldwide, three-quarters live in countries heavily impacted by climate change. Half are in places affected by both conflict and serious climate hazards, such as #Ethiopia, #Haiti, #Myanmar, #Somalia, #Sudan and #Syria.
"According to the report – No Escape: On the Frontlines of Climate Change, Conflict and #ForcedDisplacement – by 2040 the number of countries facing extreme climate-related hazards is expected to rise from 3 to 65, the vast majority of which host displaced people. Similarly, most refugee settlements and camps are projected to experience twice as many days of dangerous heat by 2050.
“ 'For the world’s most vulnerable people, climate change is a harsh reality that profoundly affects their lives,' said UN High Commissioner for Refugees, #FilippoGrandi. 'The climate crisis is driving displacement in regions already hosting large numbers of people uprooted by conflict and insecurity, compounding their plight and leaving them with nowhere safe to go.'
"For example, the devastating conflict in Sudan has forced millions of people to flee, including 700,000 who have crossed into #Chad, which has hosted refugees for decades and yet is one of the countries most exposed to climate change. At the same time, many who fled the fighting but remained in Sudan are at risk of further displacement because of #SevereFlooding that has blighted the country.
"Similarly, 72 per cent of #Myanmar’s refugees have sought safety in #Bangladesh, where natural hazards such as #cyclones and #flooding, are classified as extreme.
" 'In our region, where so many people have been displaced for so many years, we see the effects of climate change before our very eyes,' said #GraceDorong, a #ClimateActivist and former refugee living in #SouthSudan. 'I hope the voices of the people in this report help decision-makers to understand that if not addressed, forced displacement – and the multiplying effect of climate change – will get worse. But if they listen to us, we can be part of the solution, too.' "

Where are the public shelters from fire, heat, smoke and floods?
Our relentless combustion of fossil fuels and a government hell-bent on logging native forests will set people and wildlife up having to deal with fires, smoke, heat and floods increasingly.
Where are the cooling centers, heat shelters, fire shelters, smoke shelters?

CW: Where will we settle Pacific Island climate refugees?
“Given the rate at which the planet is warming, scientists predict that low-lying atolls across the Pacific region like Kiribati, Marshall Islands and Tuvalu could be uninhabitable this century, threatening the cultural legacy of the roughly 10 million people living there.
“It’s hard to swallow for Pacific Island nations that have contributed the least to the climate crisis, while rich countries continue to pump out planet-heating pollution.
“How much more science do we need to tell these countries that climate change is real? If we lose the Pacific Islands, it will have a great impact on the global community, because we are all connected.”#auspol #ClimateEmergency #TorresStrait #ClimateRefugees #PacificIslands #Tuvalu #Kirabati #MarshallIslands #Vanuatu #Tonga #Fiji #Palau #PNG #ClimateAction

"With #ClimateChange expected to #displace tens of millions of people across the US, the cities that will absorb these #migrants need to ramp up their capacity to provide assistance beyond the initial emergency period."
#ClimateRefugees tend to come from not too far away, they need housing, a job, and transportation; planning ahead makes everything easier for both cities and newcomers.

#Women and #girls make up 80% of the people #displaced by #ClimateChange . Once displaced, not only do they have to #survive - they have to care for their families—all while evading the heightened #risk of violence.

Climate change and migration
Global warming is changing the world. Droughts in the Horn of Africa, increased risks of forest fires in California and depleted fish populations for coastal nations are just three examples of events that ultimately cause people to flee their homes. Yet, seeking refuge abroad because of environmental factors
