In 2021, natural disasters forced 'nearly three million people' to leave their homes in Africa and the Middle East, Amy Pope, deputy director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), told AFP. Globally, the World Bank estimates that by 2050, if nothing is done to prevent it, there will be 216 million people internally displaced by climate change, including 19.3 million in North Africa.
