Nearly five million people in India were internally displaced due to climate change and disasters in 2021, the United Nations has said in a report.
The annual Global Trends Report by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) highlighted that globally 100 million people were forced to flee their homes last year due to violence, human rights abuses, food insecurity, the climate crisis, war in Ukraine and other emergencies from Africa to Afghanistan.
“The largest displacements in the context of disasters in 2021 occurred in China (6.0 million), the Philippines (5.7 million) and India (4.9 million),” it said.
The majority of the internally displaced persons returned to their home areas, but 5.9 million people worldwide remained displaced, the report said.
