DISPLACEMENT SOLUTIONS
Working across the globe to ease climate displacement
BUILDING HOMES FOR CLIMATE DISPLACED FAMILIES.
If you ever wanted to DO SOMETHING for climate displaced people, this is your chance to show your altruism and compassion and directly make a difference in building a better world.
You can support the initiative by donating to our GoFundMe campaign.
DS and YPSA are delighted to announce the launch of Phase 3 of our One House, One Family at a time project in Bangladesh where we raise funds and build permanent homes for some of this country’s most vulnerable climate displaced families.
We are currently expanding this project to include projects in Papua New Guinea, Panama, India & Sri Lanka.

ABOUT DISPLACEMENT SOLUTIONS
Displacement Solutions (DS) works to empower displaced people and refugees to exercise their right to return and have restored to them their original homes, lands and properties. DS works together with and on behalf of people who have been displaced not only by conflict, forced eviction or other human rights abuses, but also natural disaster, climate change or other circumstances beyond their control. DS assists in finding alternative solutions such as compensation or resettlement if this is their wish. Read more…
WORLD CLIMATE DISPLACEMENT MAP
Climate displacement is happening today. Research carried out by Displacement Solutions since 2008 in all corners of the earth has revealed the worrying scale of contemporary climate displacement that is already affecting millions of people across the globe. DS has developed a world displacement map indicating where climate displacement is occurring, the number of people it is currently affecting, and other sources of information about these growing numbers of areas, all of which require greater attention and support from the international community.
The map enables viewers to click on various climate displacement hotspots, and provides the user with detailed information about the particular challenges facing the affected communities. If you have further information about climate displacement in your location, please feel free to submit this to Displacement Solutions for possible inclusion in updating versions of the world climate displacement map.
We hope viewers will find this map useful and we welcome any feedback you would like to provide, which you can submit to info@displacementsolutions.org
