UN: Climate change is a growing threat to people who are already fleeing war, violence and persecution | News in brief

Climate change is a growing threat to people who are already fleeing war, violence and persecution, warns a recent report by the UN refugee agency.

The report shows how climate change and conflicts affect each other and push people who are already in a weak position into an even worse situation.

The report also emphasizes that climate finance does not reach refugees, host communities and others living in unstable and war-torn countries, so their ability to adapt to the effects of climate change is rapidly weakening.
