The UNHCR Global Trends Report 2023 sheds light on an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, revealing a record-breaking 120 million forcibly displaced people worldwide as of May 2024. This report underscores the critical need for innovative shelter solutions and humanitarian aid to support those affected by conflicts, natural disasters, and climate change-induced displacements.
Key Insights from the UNHCR Global Trends Report 2023:
1. Record Displacement:
The end of 2023 saw 43.4 million refugees and over 60 million internally displaced persons globally. These staggering figures highlight the growing displacement crisis driven by conflicts and other complex emergencies.
2. Children in Crisis:
Children constitute 40% of the displaced population, despite comprising only 30% of the global population. This demographic vulnerability emphasizes the urgent need for child-friendly humanitarian responses and sustainable shelter solutions.
3. Global Distribution:
Approximately 75% of refugees are hosted in low- and middle-income countries, straining local resources and infrastructure. Effective crisis response requires scalable shelter solutions that can be rapidly deployed in diverse geographical and environmental conditions.
4. Return and Resettlement:
In 2023, 6.1 million displaced persons were able to return to their areas of origin or were resettled in safer environments. Sustainable return and resettlement programs are crucial for achieving long-term stability and rebuilding communities affected by displacement.
5. Climate-Related Displacement:
Nearly three-quarters of displaced persons face displacement due to climate hazards, such as floods, droughts, and rising sea levels. Climate-resilient shelter solutions are essential to mitigate the impact of environmental crises on vulnerable populations.
