Record-breaking displacement: The intersection of conflict, climate disasters, and war.

The number of internally displaced people (IDPs) around the world rose by a fifth last year, reaching 71 million, due to a combination of conflict and climate disasters. The war in Ukraine and flooding in Pakistan were leading drivers of displacement, with 17 million movements triggered by the former and over 8 million by the latter. The report warns that the figures should be considered conservative due to difficulties in obtaining reliable data from areas occupied by military forces. The majority of IDPs live in just 10 countries, all of which are experiencing some level of conflict.
