Global Displacement Data
Climate Induced Displaced Persons
Climate Induced Displaced Persons
People who have been forcibly displaced from their communities (within or beyond their national borders) due to weather-related and uninhabitable climatic conditions.
We acknowledge that the Internal Displacement and Monitoring Centre (IDMC) does not regard displacement resulting from weather-related events as necessarily linked with climate change, and that its measure of disaster-induced displacements is not a measure of climate-induced displacement. However, OBI's framing and analysis of the climate crisis contextualizes weather-related events and disasters, and climate-induced displacement, as a result of various social, political, economic, and environmental forces that simultaneously give rise to, influence, and compound the forced displacement of people globally. Furthermore, we address how these forces are not only exacerbated by the climate crisis, but also largely born of the extractive and exploitative structures that have given rise to the climate crisis itself. We thus treat IDMC’s measure of disaster-induced displacements as a measure of climate-induced displacement.
