A new record of war and climate refugees

While the powerful people of the Western world meet today in Puglia for the G7 and the EU defines its (anti)immigration policy, the new " Global Trends Report 2024 " from of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees  (UNHCR ) warns that in the past year, forced displacement worldwide has risen to a new historic level, with the number of refugees worldwide reaching 120 million in May, and that «Conflicts from Sudan to Gaza and Myanmar are creating new displacements and urgently require a solution.»

That anti-immigration policies are ineffective because they do not address the real reasons for forced emigration is revealed by the fact that "the increase in total forced displacement was the 12th consecutive annual increase and reflects new and changing conflicts as well as "a failure to resolve long-standing crises - the report highlights – This number would mean that the global displaced population would be equal to the 12th largest country in the world, roughly the size of Japan.” (Greenreport editorial team, more at greenreport.it)
