Is conflict the key factor leading to such high levels of internally displaced people (IDPs) around the world?
Conflict is an enormous factor, but it’s impossible to separate between conflict and natural disasters. While conflict is the biggest cause of population movement within borders, natural disasters, such as flooding, also have a huge impact and are increasing due to global warming. Natural disasters, such as drought, often make conflicts worse as people struggle over increasingly scarce resources such as water, food or pasture for their animals.
