STORYLINE
In Mozambique, displaced people are battling climate change on the frontlines.
Mozambique is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change in Africa.
The country was battered by five tropical storms and cyclones this spring, affecting thousands of families, including refugees in Nampula province and people internally displaced by the violence occurring in the northern province of Nampula.
In March, tropical Cyclone Gombe destroyed homes and damaged roads, flooded farmlands, and forced people to quickly find solutions to have new shelters on the spot or to flee in search of safety in other areas.
Mozambique is one of the world’s ‘invisible emergencies,’ suffering from the re-occurrence of yearly large-scale climate-induced natural disasters and conflict-driven human rights violations in the north of the country.
In addition, the country has a protracted refugee situation.
With a population of just over 31 million people, the country is home to over one million internally displaced persons as a result of conflict and climate emergencies, as well as nearly 29,000 refugees and asylum seekers, the majority of them living in the three northern Provinces of Nampula, Cabo Delgado, and Niassa.
Since the beginning of 2022, Mozambique has already been impacted by three severe weather phenomena, including tropical storms and cyclones, which hit the northern coastal areas affecting thousands of families in rural and urban locations.
Patrício Alberto Mponda and his family fled the violence from their village Mwiangalewa, in Muidumbe district, Cabo Delgado, to Corrane site in Nampula province, only to face cyclone Gombe that destroyed their home there.
UNHCR is helping him, his family, and other internally displaced persons build homes more resilient to withstand extreme weather.
