The relationship between displacement and climate change

Weather of Arabia - The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, stated that the large displacement movement in the world affects the climate environment, explaining that there is an intersection between climate change and the displacement movement in the world.

He pointed out that climate changes push people to change their places of living, and this is one of the important factors for conflicts in the world. Therefore, support for efforts to combat climate change must be increased, and the money that was allocated to the Loss and Damage Fund must be under a larger umbrella. We must also address the climate problems that currently exist after That's how we think about sustainability.

He also explained that the large displacement movement in regions of the world affects the climate environment, and pointed out that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has a special climate strategy. But the world is not ready to address the issue of displacement due to climate change, and UNHCR does not have enough resources. However, we seek to provide sustainable energy sources for large groups of refugees. We call on donors to provide greater support to relief organizations.

He said that areas exposed to violence and conflicts are the most climate fragile areas. On the other hand, these wars and conflicts hinder any climate efforts.
