Source-<\/strong>This post on Global Report on Internal Displacement 2024 (GRID-2024)\u00a0<\/strong>is based on the article “Weather-related disasters continue to displace more than conflict and violence”<\/a><\/strong> published in\u00a0\u201cDown to Earth\u201d<\/strong> on 17th May 2024.<\/p>\n

Why in the News?<\/h2>\n

Recently, Global Report on Internal Displacement 2024 (GRID-2024) was released by the Geneva-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).<\/p>\n

Finding of the report<\/h2>\n

1. About the report: <\/strong>The report is published annually by the Geneva-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)<\/span> and documents internal displacements caused by conflict, violence, and disasters.<\/p>\n

2. Increase in Total Internally Displaced People:<\/strong> According to the Global Report on Internal Displacement 2024 (GRID-2024), the number of internally displaced people increased<\/span> to 75.9 million in 2023, up from 71.1 million in 2022.<\/p>\n

3. Conflict and Violence:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

a) Displacements due to conflict and violence rose significantly<\/span> in 2023, with 68.3 million people displaced by the end of the year, marking a 49% increase from 2022.<\/p>\n

b) The main countries affected included Sudan, Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Colombia, and Yemen,<\/span> which collectively host nearly half of the world’s internally displaced population.<\/p>\n

4. Displacement Due to Natural Disasters<\/strong><\/p>\n

a) Displacements caused by disasters totaled 7.7 million by the end of 2023. Earthquakes accounted for a quarter of these displacements.<\/span><\/p>\n

b) Significant disaster-related displacements were recorded across 148 countries and territories. Canada and New Zealand<\/span> reported their highest figures ever.<\/p>\n

5. Weather-Related Displacements<\/strong><\/p>\n

a) Although there was a one-third reduction in weather-related displacements in 2023 compared to 2022, they still constituted 56% of all displacements, with 2023 being the third highest year for such displacements in the last decade.<\/p>\n

b) This decrease is attributed to the shift from La Nina to El Nino<\/span>, with La Nina typically associated with more storms and floods, while El Nino often brings drier conditions and droughts.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Impact of Global Weather Phenomena on South Asia<\/strong><\/p>\n

a) South Asia, including India, reported its lowest internal displacements since 2018<\/span> with 3.7 million displacements, of which 3.6 million were due to disasters.<\/p>\n

b) This reduction is linked to the onset of El Nino,<\/span> which resulted in below-average rainfall during the monsoon and a weaker cyclone season. However, floods and storms continued to cause significant displacements.<\/p>\n

7. The increase in conflict and violence-related displacements in 2023 marks a reversal of the previous trend where natural disasters were the primary cause of displacement.<\/p>\n

8. The 2022 report highlighted a 40% increase in disaster displacements<\/span> from the previous year, predominantly due to weather-related events like floods and storms during the prolonged La Nina period.<\/p>\n
