CNN’s recently released dramatic images projecting how many major cities around the globe will be impacted by two degrees, or four degrees, of global warming. 760 million people’s homes could be submerged. DS hopes these projections will bring world leaders to adopt strong reductions in their CO2 emissions at the Paris Climate talks and beyond, and that action on climate displacement will finally get the political attention it deserves.

DS deeply dismayed at the removal of all climate displacement provisions in the draft climate treaty
DS is dismayed at the systematic removal of all climate displacement provisions in the draft climate treaty just weeks before the treaty is considered in Paris, in an article just published by the Guardian. DS has received countless calls and emails from our partners across the globe who are already struggling with climate displacement worried that they again will be forgotten by the world. We will keep advocating for the return of climate displacement issues in the treaty in our discussions with governments in the coming months, but our hopes for a truly positive Paris treaty are waning quickly.
