The number of forcibly displaced people due to conflict has doubled to over 120 million in the past decade, with 90 million in climate-vulnerable regions.
UN High Commissioner Filippo Grandi stated, 'The climate crisis is driving displacement in regions already hosting large numbers of uprooted people, compounding their plight.'
Grace Dorong, a climate activist, emphasized, 'If not addressed, forced displacement and the multiplying effect of climate change will get worse,' urging for action.
More than 70% of refugees from Myanmar have sought safety in Bangladesh, which is facing extreme cyclones and flooding due to climate change.
