2026 Global Report on Internal Displacement

Abstract

This year’s report reveals that the number of internally displaced people worldwide remains near record levels at 82.2 million, more than double compared to a decade ago. Conflict, violence, and disasters, many intensified by climate change, are driving record levels of displacement. The 2026 report presents the data and analysis behind these stories with both top-line and in-depth results of global internal displacement data collected by IDMC throughout 2025. It also includes a chapter on building resilient and sustainable displacement data systems that governments and their partners can use to inform their decisions and policies to address internal displacement. As in previous editions, GRID 2026 includes regional overviews and 6 spotlights on notable displacement situations as well as maps, charts and written analysis of the numbers of internally displaced people and internal displacements, or movements, globally and by region and country.
