Protecting People
Climate change is happening now and many places are feeling its effects. We must take actions to prevent climate change, but we must also adapt and prepare the people for the current effects of climate change so we can continue to fight in the future. 24.9 million people were newly internally displaced due to climate-related disasters and natural hazards in 2019.
