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.
