Disasters Trigger More Displacements than Conflicts, Says New ADB-IDMC Report
ADB and IDMC have published a joint report on internal displacement.
The study shows that disasters triggered 26.4 million internal displacements—or forced movements within one's country—while conflict and violence caused 20.5 million displacements in 2023.
The publication also focuses on the impact of displacement on people, livelihoods, and development, and outlines how multilateral development banks can work with governments to improve resilience, reduce risks, and curb future crises.
With the right investments in risk reduction and climate adaptation, countries can reduce the negative impacts of displacement, says IDMC Director Alexandra Bilak.
