Extreme weather events led to 31.8 million people around the world being internally displaced in 2022, including 2.1 million in the Americas, a new report has revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest release<\/a> from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) reports a significant increase in the forced movement of people within their country\u2019s borders due to disasters such as floods, storms, wildfire and droughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of 2022, the total number of people left internally displaced by disasters globally almost doubled on 2021, largely driven by the devastating floods in Pakistan<\/a>. Disaster-related displacements during the year were also 41% higher than the average of the last decade. Floods were responsible for the majority \u2013 six out of ten \u2013 of these forced movements, followed by storms, droughts, landslides and extreme temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Americas was the region that saw the fourth most displacements by climate events in the last decade, according to the IDMC. Last year, Brazil was the country in the region with the most disaster-related displacements, followed by the United States, Colombia, Haiti and Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessing displacement is a complex undertaking, given the differing triggers and time scales of disasters that drive forced movement. These are usually divided into two classifications: sudden onset, and slow or gradual onset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe former are much easier to identify because of their sudden onset: they can be hurricanes, floods, earthquakes or fires,\u201d explains Pablo Escribano, a migration and climate change specialist at the International Organization for Migration. \u201cBut when we talk about gradual onsets such as drought, melting glaciers or rising sea levels, they tend to be more diffuse. People in these situations frequently move because their land is no longer productive or there are no longer opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IDMC\u2019s findings provide a stark warning over the growing risks of displacement amid a climate crisis that is likely to bring more intense, frequent and unpredictable extreme weather events. Experts told Di\u00e1logo Chino of the urgent need for responses to pre-empt and prevent displacement in Latin America, and to increase support for those forced to relocate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disasters and responses in Latin America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year, both Brazil and Colombia experienced flooding due to episodes of heavy rain between May and November. Populations in many areas were faced with weeks of chest-deep water. Added to this devastation in both countries were landslides, caused by the saturated ground. Further north, storms such as Hurricane Ian hit Central America and forced hundreds of thousands of people to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, storms accounted for 1.2 million internal displacements across the Americas, IDMC reports, just over 50% of the total number of forced movements in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

708,000<\/p>

The number of disaster displacements recorded in Brazil in 2022, the country\u2019s highest figure in over a decade, driven by severe storms and floods<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change<\/a> (IPCC), the United Nations\u2019 top climate science body, such phenomena may become even more extreme in the future, due to the effects of global warming. \u201cThe increase in water temperature makes this more likely, as does the increase in air temperature,\u201d explains Matilde Rusticucci, an Argentine meteorologist and IPCC contributor. \u201cThese are the ideal conditions for terrible storms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escribano tells Di\u00e1logo Chino that many responses have already been taken to confront extreme weather in Latin America, as well as efforts to raise greater awareness of the risks: \u201cSeveral countries have designed early warning systems, and disaster risk management and evacuation protocols. In the case of Cuba, for example, when a hurricane hits, they know how to move the affected people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these systems, planned relocations present another alternative, with governments, NGOs and international organisations increasingly promoting the relocation of people living in flood-prone or otherwise at-risk areas to safer places \u2013 but this can be a contentious issue. \u201cA lot of progress is being made in this regard,\u201d Escribano says. \u201cBut it is a complex process, we have had many bad experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One example is that of Goldney and Olivera, two neighbouring villages separated by the Luj\u00e1n River, some 100 kilometres outside the city of Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Lugones has lived in Goldney for half his life and works in Olivera. For a long time, he sold milk, but in 2000 he and his partner set up the Remo Foundation. \u201cAt first it was just a kindergarten,\u201d he recalls, \u201cbut with the floods that came between 2000 and 2016 we also became a shelter. We housed 30 people at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During those 16 years, the river\u2019s water level rose by more than eight times, fluctuating between two and five metres deep. Parts of the village were completely flooded, and with each new flood, the river carried away houses, furniture, clothes and mementos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, the government of the province of Buenos Aires and a group of NGOs built 40 houses in a safe area and managed to relocate the people most affected by the floods. But after a while, people began to move into the at-risk area that had previously been vacated, Lugones explains: \u201cToday, the place that was flooded is full of people again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escribano describes how this type of situation has occurred in several places in the region. He says that more comprehensive solutions are needed to address a pressing question: \u201cHow do you rebuild the livelihoods of the population that you are moving elsewhere?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow-onset and cross-border displacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While some areas Latin America suffered during storms and floods in 2022, others felt the effects of historic droughts. \u201cThis was one of the most widespread [weather] events,\u201d says Rusticucci. \u201cIn Argentina and Uruguay there have been almost three years of prolonged drought. If we don\u2019t do something to mitigate and adapt, where it is raining now, it\u2019s going to rain a lot more, and where there are already droughts, they\u2019re going to get longer and longer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worldwide, in the last year alone, drought was the third leading driver of weather-related internal displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the regions hardest hit by drought in Latin America is known as the \u201cdry corridor\u201d, which crosses parts of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. For years, the corridor has seen prolonged droughts and decreasing rainfall. Although storms hit the area during hurricane season, barely a drop of water falls over the rest of the year. In 2014, 70% of the crops in the corridor failed due to drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike storms and floods, drought does not tend to lead to sudden-onset displacement; unless a wildfire breaks out, they are more likely to drive gradual displacement, notably from rural areas as crops fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Central America\u2019s dry corridor, droughts have given rise to a progressive abandonment of land. Many people move to the cities \u2013 and other countries \u2013 where they frequently encounter new risks related to precarity and informality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no legal provision that recognises climate displacement<\/blockquote>Adri\u00e1n Mart\u00ednez Blanco, director and founder of the NGO La Ruta del Clima<\/cite><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who migrate [from the dry corridor] due to climate displacement travel north without any kind of protection, as there is no legal provision that recognises climate displacement,\u201d says Adri\u00e1n Mart\u00ednez Blanco, director and founder of the NGO La Ruta del Clima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are international frameworks that aim to integrate climate-displaced people in a similar fashion to other populations forced into migration, such as the Global Compact for Migration<\/a>, these are not binding and depend on the will of individual countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To confront this, Mart\u00ednez calls for a \u201ccomplete rethink of human mobility\u201d and the international architecture for migration. \u201cIt is necessary to adapt to the current context, with an emphasis on climate change, human rights and the rights of the most vulnerable communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legislation and monitoring in the region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there is much room for improvement, Ivana Hajzmanova, global monitoring manager at the IDMC and an author of the report, says there has been progress in addressing climate displacement in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany governments are focusing on developing instruments such as humanitarian visas, climate change adaptation plans and monitoring systems. Colombia is working on a specific law<\/a> for climate displacement, and Mexico is on the same path,\u201d Hajzmanova explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hajzmanova also points to countries in Latin America with advanced monitoring systems that help to preempt displacement, including Brazil, Uruguay and Chile. However, such systems are not widespread: \u201cWe face a lack of data in several Latin American countries, so it is very difficult to really assess the magnitude of the phenomenon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hopes that policy-makers will read the IDMC report and, based on the findings, make informed decisions on where more funding is needed, and which are the most acute crises that need to be addressed. \u201cIt is really the prerogative of nation states, and each of them needs to implement their own policies and legal instruments, which will help them deal with internal displacement crises,\u201d Hajzmanova says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Escribano, it is also essential to work on a joint approach to internal displacement among Latin American countries. The International Organization for Migration, he explains, is looking to bring more attention to the problem in front of the international community. \u201cCOP28 is the space where we intend to raise this issue,\u201d he says, looking ahead to the United Nations climate change conference, set to be held in December in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
