The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDCM)’s Annual Global Report on internal displacement data and analysis highlights that 71.1 million people were living in internal displacement worldwide at the end of 2022, a 20% increase in a year and the highest number ever recorded. The number of displacements associated with conflict and violence
nearly doubled to 28.3 million, with the war in Ukraine triggering 16.9 million, the highest figure ever recorded for any country.
The report mentions the International Recommendations on Internally Displaced Persons Statistics (IRIS) role aligning stakeholders to produce more interoperable data. This edition focuses on the relationships between disasters, conflict and violence, food security and internal displacement: Three-quarters of the countries where food security assessments were conducted had internally displaced populations.
