World Migration Report 2022

The report is published every year by International Organization for Migration (IOM) of the UN.
More people are being displaced by disasters — caused by the changing climate — than conflicts, reversing a historical trend.
7 million new displacements were triggered by disasters in 145 countries and territories.
Most of the new displacement is due to climate related events: Storms accounted for 14.6 million displacements and floods for 14.1 million. Extreme temperatures have displaced some 46,000 people anew; droughts caused new displacement of 32,000 people in 2020.
United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification estimates that droughts could lead to the migration of 22 million more in Africa, 12 million in South America and 10 million in Asia by 2059 (in comparison to the 2000-2015 period).
The last World Migration Report, published in December 2019 in 2018, of the total new 28 million internally displaced people in 148 countries, 61 per cent were due to disasters.
