A new report from a Swiss-based non-governmental organization says wildfires displaced 185,000 people in Canada last year, the highest number since data became available in 2008.
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is a Geneva-based group that monitors global displacement due to climate change and conflict, among other things. Its 2024 Global Report on Internal Displacement calculates Canada accounted for 43 per cent of worldwide wildfire displacements in 2023.
