Abstract
Survival is the only priority of refugees and the hosting nations are often bound to address the problem of refugee crises within a short period of time without any proper planning. As a result, related environmental aspects remain overlooked until the refugees and host population begin to suffer from the consequences of the resultant degradation. The present review is the first-ever attempt to develop comprehensive insights into the environmental impacts of refugees in South Asia, Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. This has been done through the survey of secondary information obtained from peer-reviewed publications, e-media portals, and websites of humanitarian agencies. It was found that that the influx of refugees and their activities lead to the degradation of land, air, and water; depletion of land and water resources; forest destruction; waste generation; and several other environmental problems in host countries. Any initiative or policy to support refugees in host countries should always take environmental aspects into account.
