In 2025, extreme weather events led to the internal displacement of 13.6 million people worldwide, according to a study conducted by the University of Hamburg. This figure marks a significant increase in the number of individuals forced to leave their homes due to such phenomena, a trend attributed to the intensifying effects of climate change, especially impacting countries in the global "South."

The report highlights that the escalation in extreme weather events is exacerbated by climate change, which is increasing both their frequency and severity. In addition to weather-related displacements, the study notes that armed conflicts and violent incidents were also at their highest levels since World War II, contributing to the pressures on populations and leading to further internal displacements. The combination of these factors points to a growing global challenge regarding displacement and humanitarian crises exacerbated by climate-related issues.
