Nearly 700,000 people have been internally displaced in Peru due to climate change effects, making it one of the most vulnerable countries to the global climate crisis. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is working with the Peruvian government to address climate-related forced migration through an action plan and pilot project. The lack of specific and centralized data on environmental migration in Peru is a challenge. The impacts of climate change on agriculture and fishing are affecting the country's economy and food security. The World Bank estimates that by 2050, there will be more than 10 million climate migrants in Latin America.
