Global Trends 2022 ​report of UNHCR

1. Overview 2022 saw a significant increase in forced displacement globally. Many people had to leave their homes due to war, conflict, and human ​rights violations. 2. Key Statistics Number of Forcibly Displaced Persons By the end of 2022, the number of forcibly displaced persons worldwide ​was estimated at approximately 108.4 million. Refugee-Hosting Countries Low- and middle-income countries hosted 76% of the world's refugees. ​Neighboring Country Hosting 70% of refugees resided in countries neighboring their own. Turkey Turkey hosted around 3.6 million refugees, ​making it the country with the largest refugee population. Internally Displaced Persons 58% of forcibly displaced persons were internally displaced ​within their own countries. 3. Resettlement and Returns Resettlement In 2022, the number of refugees resettled doubled compared to the ​previous year, reaching 114,300. Returns 6 million displaced persons returned to their homes, with 5.7 million being internally displaced persons ​and 339,300 being refugees. 4. Regional Highlights Ukraine In 2022, Russia's full-scale invasion led to the displacement of 11.6 million people, with ​5.9 million internally displaced and 5.7 million seeking refuge in neighboring countries. Afghanistan Afghan refugees numbered around 5.7 million, ​primarily in Iran (3.4 million), Pakistan (1.7 million), and Germany (180,000). Myanmar Ongoing violence following the military coup resulted in the ​internal displacement of approximately 1.2 million people in 2022. Syria Syria had around 6.5 million refugees, mainly in Turkey, Lebanon, and ​Jordan. South Sudan South Sudanese refugees numbered approximately 2.5 million, mainly in Uganda (850,000), Sudan (800,000), Ethiopia ​(400,000), and Kenya (150,000). 5. Climate Change and Natural Disasters Displacement Due to Natural Disasters In 2022, new displacements due ​to natural disasters totaled 32.6 million, accounting for 21% of all forced displacements. 6. International Response Resettlement Programs ​UNHCR's resettlement programs resettled 114,300 refugees in 2022, returning to pre-COVID-19 levels. Introduction of Nowcasting Nowcasting ​techniques were introduced to improve the reliability of forced displacement statistics by utilizing real-time data. Conclusion 2022 saw a sharp ​increase in forced displacement, primarily due to the Ukraine war, Myanmar's military coup, and ongoing conflicts in Africa. Most refugees and ​internally displaced persons are hosted in low- and middle-income countries, highlighting the need for international support for these nations. The ​report emphasizes the analysis of the causes and consequences of forced displacement and calls for a collective effort from the international ​community to seek solutions. The report urges international solidarity and responsibility-sharing, stressing the importance of UNHCR's ongoing ​efforts to enhance protection and support for refugees and internally displaced persons.

Assumptions Annual Global Funding Requirement: Assume $20 billion USD is needed annually to support refugees. Global Population: Approximately 7.9 billion people ​as of 2022. Refugee Population: Estimated at 100 million (0.1 billion). Population Unable to Contribute: Assume 20% of the global population, or 1.58 billion people, are ​unable to contribute. Calculations 1. Population Able to Contribute: Calculate the number of people who can contribute by subtracting the refugee population and those ​unable to pay from the total global population. Population Able to Contribute=Global Population−Refugee Population−Population Unable to Contribute\{Population Able ​to Contribute} = \{Global Population} - \{Refugee Population} - \{Population Unable to Contribute}Population Able to Contribute=Global Population−Refugee ​Population−Population Unable to Contribute Population Able to Contribute=7,900,000,000−100,000,000−1,580,000,000\{Population Able to Contribute} = ​7,900,000,000 - 100,000,000 - 1,580,000,000Population Able to Contribute=7,900,000,000−100,000,000−1,580,000,000

Population Able to Contribute=6,220,000,000\{Population Able to Contribute} = 6,220,000,000Population Able to Contribute=6,220,000,000 2. Per Capita Contribution: ​Divide the annual global funding requirement by the population able to contribute to determine the per capita contribution. Per Capita Contribution=Annual Global ​Funding RequirementPopulation Able to Contribute\text{Per Capita Contribution} = \{\{Annual Global Funding Requirement}}{\{Population Able to Contribute}}Per Capita ​Contribution=Population Able to ContributeAnnual Global Funding Requirement​ Per Capita Contribution=20,000,000,000 USD6,220,000,000 people≈3.22 USD\{Per ​Capita Contribution} = \{20,000,000,000 \{ USD}}{6,220,000,000 \{ people}} \approx 3.22 \{ USD}Per Capita Contribution=6,220,000,000 people20,000,000,000 USD​​≈3.22 USD

Conclusion To adequately support refugees, each person who is able to contribute would need to pay approximately $3.22 USD annually. This calculation excludes ​refugees and those unable to pay, ensuring that the burden is fairly distributed among those who can afford to contribute. This collective effort can significantly aid in ​addressing the global refugee crisis through coordinated international support.
