América Latina enfrenta seis crisis humanitarias que dejan 23 millones de desplazados

The Latin America and Caribbean region is facing an unprecedented humanitarian emergency, with millions of people displaced or in refugee status due to the convergence of political, security, and climate crises. This situation reflects a growing complexity in forced displacement, where factors such as organized crime violence, political persecution, and natural disasters have overwhelmed traditional response capacities, creating a dynamic of human mobility that challenges existing borders and protection systems. The impact is distributed across several key countries, from armed conflicts in Colombia and instability in Venezuela to violence in Central America’s Northern Triangle and the crisis in Haiti. These scenarios not only generate high numbers of internally displaced persons but also significantly increase the population of asylum seekers and stateless individuals. The intersection of these crises demands integrated regional solutions that go beyond immediate assistance, requiring robust political and legal strategies to address the structural causes of displacement. This report is relevant to the open data movement because it underscores the urgency of transparent and accessible information systems on migration flows and humanitarian needs. Effective management of these crises depends on the ability of governments and civil society to generate, share, and analyze accurate data on human mobility. Promoting data openness facilitates international coordination, enhances accountability, and enables the design of evidence-based public policies, ensuring a more efficient response to current climate and social emergencies.
