It's World Refugee Day.mp4

🌎 It's World Refugee Day!

This year's theme is "For a World Where Refugees Are Welcomed," highlighting the need for global solidarity in welcoming refugees and addressing the root causes of displacement, whether that be conflict, disaster, economic, or even climate change.

ECSP is highlighting countries that are experiencing climate-related displacement:

1️⃣ In Bangladesh, 1 in every 7 Bangladeshis could be displaced by 2050 from climate-related factors, and the country could lose up to 11% of its land mostly along its populated delta, according to the IOM.

2️⃣ Across more than 7,000 islands in the Philippines, approximately 8.6 million people will be directly affected by rising sea levels in the next three decades.

3️⃣ Haiti ranks 3rd in the climate risk index. In 2020, 13,000 people were displaced due to hurricanes Isaias and Laura, and in 2021, 220,000 people were displaced by natural disasters.
