Davos: The world needs to prepare
for a surge in refugees with
potentially millions of people being
driven from their homes by the
impact of climate change, the
United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees said on Tuesday.

Speaking to Reuters at the World
Economic Forum, Filippo Grandi
said a U.N. ruling this week meant
those fleeing as a result of climate
change had to be treated by
recipient countries as refugees,
with broad implications for
governments.
