- In 2024, 9.8 million displaced people returned home, including a record 1.6 million refugees and 8.2 million internally displaced persons, even as Sudan surpassed Syria to become the largest displacement crisis.
- UN High Commissioner Filippo Grandi emphasized that we are currently experiencing significant instability in global relations, where contemporary conflicts have resulted in a vulnerable and distressing situation characterized by severe human suffering.
- The report highlighted the need to redouble efforts for peace and sustainable solutions as displacement remains "untenably high," with future trends depending on conflict dynamics and funding availability.
