According to a new report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the climate crisis is exacerbating conflict, hunger and inequality, forcing about 70,000 people to leave their homes every day.

According to UNHCR estimates, over the past decade, climate disasters have led to the forced displacement of more than 250 million people. Such events include not only sudden natural disasters such as floods, storms, and droughts, but also slow processes such as desertification, sea level rise, and ecosystem degradation, which directly threaten food and water security, centralasia.media reports.
