Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)

🚨 OUT NOW: 2024 Global Report on Internal Displacement 75.9 million people, the most ever recorded, were living in #internaldisplacement at the end of 2023.    New escalations in conflict, such as in #Sudan and #Gaza, forced millions of people to flee their homes in 2023. Millions were already living in displacement, mainly from ongoing or previous conflicts. Disasters, like earthquakes, storms, floods and wildfires, also destroyed people’s homes and led to the displacement of millions more.    Learn all about it in our #GRID2024 👇 https://bit.ly/3QIX4rJ

In 2023, 82% of conflict displacement occurred in countries with high climate vulnerability, yet fragile states receive just $2 per person annually for adaptation, compared to $161 in non-fragile states. Read Alice Baillat's policy analysis from COP29 to learn more about the urgency of addressing the nexus between climate change, conflict and displacement and some steps in that direction from Baku. https://lnkd.in/eHua7Hmf

#InternalDisplacement continues to grow and 2024 has been another challenging year for millions of displaced people worldwide. Our work this year has highlighted alarming trends, persistent challenges and avenues for progress on lasting solutions for displaced communities. While progress is slow, it's possible.

#COP29 underdelivered. Insufficient commitments on #ClimateFinance and major deadlocks in the negotiations stalled much-needed progress. Despite limited progress, there were some outcomes related to displacement. Our Alice Baillat breaks down 5️⃣ takeaways from this year's summit and 3️⃣ action points for next year.

As 2024 draws to a close, historic numbers of people are displaced. In her end of year message, our Director Alexandra Bilak reflects on this year's progress in resolving #InternalDisplacement despite the growing challenge. Governments and their partners are investing in solutions, from disaster risk reduction to climate adaptation. Read how we can and must carry the momentum on solutions into 2025👇 https://lnkd.in/eW6nuhHA

💥Conflict and violence remain the main driver of #InternalDisplacement in Africa Conflict hotspots within countries have triggered most forced movements of people in the past years. Without peacebuilding and development, internally displaced people will not be able to rebuild their lives.

Over 11 million people in #Sudan have been forced to flee their homes, with millions living with host communities. Both internally displaced and host communities are grappling with severe shortages of food, shelter, and healthcare. The Norwegian Refugee Council's report, Bursting at the Seams, reveals the growing pressure on host communities.

🌊 Disasters displace millions of people ever year. Displacement doesn't just disrupt lives and livelihoods, it reverses the socio-economic development of communities and countries. But #DisasterDisplacement is not inevitable. From prevention to solutions, development and climate finance are key in supporting governments in addressing displacement.  Our Christelle Cazabat and Nacanieli S. joined a conversation hosted by the Center for Global Development highlighting how existing sources of development and climate adaptation finance can drive government-led solutions to internal displacement.
