Financing critical as the displaced endure climate-related shocks: UN refugees chief

UN raises alarm for refugees stuck in circle of conflict, climate extremes

Millions of refugees are trapped in a vicious circle of conflict and climate extremes, the UN said on Nov 10, urging the COP30 summit to provide financing for the most vulnerable.

UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, said that within 15 years, the places currently hosting nearly half the world's refugees could be facing extreme exposure to climate-related shocks.

"Climate change is not only amplifying existing vulnerabilities - it is also fuelling displacement trends, creating complex and compounding risks for refugees... leaving many with no escape from its impacts," it said in a report.

It said climate shocks were increasing humanitarian needs and amplifying the risks of repeated displacement.

The COP30 global climate conference will be held in Belem, Brazil, from Nov 10 to 21.
