# The International Organisation for Migration is demanding a decisive shift in global financing priorities, warning that intensifying disasters and climate impacts are driving record levels of displacement. In 2024 alone, nearly 46-million people were displaced by disasters, the highest number ever recorded. According to the IOM, earthquakes, floods, storms, droughts, and heatwaves made up 95-percent of direct costs in the past two decades. The IOM is calling on world leaders to integrate human mobility into risk-informed development and climate finance, ensuring that communities can adapt when disaster strikes.
International Organisation for Migration says disaster risk reduction efforts remain severely underfunded
