Gordon McBean: Norwegian Refugee Councils Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre

Norwegian Refugee Councils Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre: Most disaster-induced displacement was caused by climate and weather-related disasters, the report by the Norwegian Refugee Councils Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre says, according to The Star. Thirty-two million people . . . that is the human cost of climate change, said Gordon McBean, director of research at Western Universitys Centre for Environment and Sustainability in London, Ont and More than 32 million people were forced to flee their homes in 2012 because of disasters like floods, storms and earthquakes almost twice as many as in 2011, says a new report. More than 98 per cent of the people displaced were in developing countries in Asia and Africa. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
