UN Says 'Climate Change' May Now Be Classified as 'Genocide'

harrowing image of a three-year-old Syrian refugee named Alan Kurdi,

whose body was found on a beach in Turkey, sparked a global outpouring of grief and anger in 2015. However, a new report suggests that climate change may soon be responsible for even more global refugees than conflicts and wars.

Yesterday, a groundbreaking report was released by the United Nations University (UNU), which alleges that climate change may trigger the largest wave of global refugees since World War II. According to the study, within 30 years, climate change could force more than 200 million people across the globe to relocate.

The report depicts an alarming future, providing a stark contrast to the current narrative of the world, which is predominantly focused on the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. UNU scientists argued that climate change has already been responsible for forcing people to move, rendering them vulnerable to harassment and violence.

The report also alleges that the majority of these climate refugees will be from developing countries in Africa, who will be forced to migrate to escape drought, rising sea levels, and extreme heat. These situations will inevitably lead to heightened competition for resources and space, exacerbating conflicts within and between countries.

Dr. Kanta Kumar, the lead author of the report, highlighted the need for urgent action to address this issue, stating that "climate change is no longer a future threat, but a present reality."

The report concludes by calling for an overhaul of current refugee protection systems, emphasizing the need for a new, more comprehensive framework to address this impending crisis.

This unprecedented challenge underscores the critical importance of tackling climate change now, to prevent impending mass displacement and suffering.
