International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC

Disasters and the impacts of climate change are affecting how people live, move, and survive. In 2024 alone, there were 7.8 million disaster displacements in Africa (IDMC). And this is expected to increase as the impacts of climate change accelerate. The urgency for action has never been greater. Locally led action can change how communities reduce risks, adapt and remain resilient, expanding their choices whether to stay in their homes or move on their own terms. This IFRC report, ‘Forced to Flee in a Changing Climate’, highlights concrete ways National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies — and others in impacted communities — are helping people prepare and adapt to climate change, so they can stay safe in their homes or move safely and with dignity on their own terms. https://bit.ly/4k7WMr2
