By the end of 2024, UNHCR estimates that 123.2 million people will have been forced to flee persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations and events seriously disturbing public order. This represents an increase of 5.9 million people compared to the end of 2023 and is more than double the figure for the last 10 years. There are 73.5 million people displaced within their own countries and 46.2 million refugees and asylum seekers. Children make up approximately 29% of the world's population but account for 40% of those forced to flee, totalling 49 million. Sixty-seven per cent of refugees are hosted in neighbouring countries, 73% are hosted in low- or middle-income countries, and only 23% are hosted in developed countries. Sixty-nine per cent of refugees come from Venezuela (6.2 M), Syria (6.0 M), Afghanistan (5.8 M), Ukraine (5.1 M) and South Sudan (2.3 M). Thirty-seven per cent of refugees are hosted in just five countries: Iran, Turkey, Colombia, Germany and Uganda. For this reason, since 2012, the Foundation has welcomed around 1.600 refugees in small towns in Basilicata, together with its partners using the diffuse hosting model.

According to the Oxfam 2025 report, "an increasingly alarming picture is emerging globally: on the one hand, billions of people live in poverty, while on the other, a small number of super-rich continue to accumulate fortunes at a dizzying pace," creating what Oxfam calls a "perverse symmetry." In 2024, the wealth of billionaires grew, in real terms, by $2 trillion, or about $5.7 billion per day, at a rate three times higher than the previous year. The imbalance is also growing at the territorial level: "rich countries control 69% of global wealth, while representing only 21% of the world's population. The dominance of Northern currencies in the international payment system and lower financing costs in rich countries are at the root of significant imbalances in capital income flows between advanced economies and the South. For this reason, the Foundation is working to promote Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus' Social Business model, which aims to reduce economic inequalities by combining social justice, poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability.

The report "The Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update 2025" published annually by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) highlights that there is an 86% probability that the global average near-surface temperature will exceed the 1850-1900 average levels by 1.5°C for at least one year between 2025 and 2029 and that at least one year between 2025 and 2029 will be the warmest year on record (currently 2024). The Arctic is particularly at risk, as it is already experiencing faster warming than the rest of the planet. There will likely be a change in the seasons, and this scenario is expected to have negative impacts on the economy and society, which in turn will increase migration. For this reason, the Foundation has adopted the sustainable development goals defined in the United Nations 2030 Agenda by implementing environmentally friendly projects such as Housing for Peace and Trees for Peace. Between 2022 and 2024, we planted over 2,800 trees that absorb 532K CO2, and we plan to plant another 1,500 trees by 2026.
