This document presents an overview of global levels and trends for each of the seven categories constituting the total population of concern to UNHCR. It also analyses trends related to new displacement, either in the form of massive outflows or of people having sought international protection on an individual basis. Finding durable solutions for those who have sought international protection is central to UNHCR’s mandate and therefore integral to this report. Information on the demographic composition of the population falling under UNHCR’s responsibility, crucial for all planning and programming activities, also features in this document.
