Storms, floods, droughts, wildfires and other disasters attributed to weather may force nearly 162 million people to seek humanitarian aid by 2030, almost 50% more than in 2018, a report by 16 international organizations said on Tuesday.
The 2020 State of Climate Services report estimated the global costs of an almost 50% increase from the 108 million people who needed humanitarian aid due to weather-related disasters two years ago would come to about US$20 billion a year.
