We have evidence that refugees are highly exposed to the impacts of climate change, including severe weather, and are often more vulnerable to these impacts because of restrictions on their right to movement, work, shelter (see: @sonjafransen.bsky.social et al. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...).
Refugee settlements are highly exposed to extreme weather conditions
Refugee settlements are often located in countries most vulnerable to climate variability. This article provides a systematic analysis examining the exposure to slow- and rapid-onset events of the 20 largest refugee settlements worldwide. We find ...
