December 2019 (OXFAM International)* — The climate crisis is already forcing millions of people from their land and homes, and putting many more at risk of displacement in the near future. Supercharged storms, more intense and prolonged droughts, floods, rising seas and other climate-fueled disasters such as cyclones or wildfires all worsen the lives of vulnerable people and increase the likelihood of being forced to move.
