Cambio climático y desplazamiento forzado:  la mayoría de las personas desplazadas por conflictos y violencia a nivel global viven en países severamente afectados por el cambio climático. Urge mayor apoyo. Mi entrevista con @RNE desde #COP29 en Baku rtve.es/play/audios/mas-cerc…

UNHCR is very good at delivering basic household items quickly to people fleeing conflict and violence. But these relief items come at an environmental cost. Working with @ifrc & @ICRC, @refugees is introducing greener emergency items. Target: 20% drop in CO₂ by 2025.

No escape. Our report launched today at #COP29 shows 3/4 of the 120 million forcibly displaced people globally are in countries with high to extreme climate impacts. But these countries receive only a small % of climate financing. This must change. 🔗unhcr.org/media/no-escape-fr…

When the conflict escalated in Lebanon 🇱🇧 flexible funding from our donors allowed us to deliver urgent relief to affected communities and the high number of people fleeing to Syria. As the situation deteriorates, this support is vital as we await new contributions. Thank you

With ongoing conflict and further atrocities in el-Fasher, Sudan, protecting Sudanese refugees in neighboring countries is more crucial than ever. I recently visited Ethiopia with a group of UNHCR's top donors and witnessed the response at the border with Sudan firsthand.

People. Sun. Land. Water. The Melkadida Refugee Compact is a community-led plan for resilience, climate adaptation & development. 1st results promising but much more is needed Our visit with top @Refugees donors showed the potential of public-private & development partnerships

So impressed by what we saw today in Melkadida, Ethiopia. Thanks to the inclusive approach of Govt of Ethiopia and sustained support of public and private donors, both host communities+refugees are starting to reap the fruits of development New solarized irrigation agriculture:

"We are very close to Sudan and are afraid": a woman refugee leader in Kurmuk transit centre, Ethiopia, explains why relocating away from the border is urgent. UNHCR is working with the Govt to move 21,000 refugees to a new settlement. More funding is needed to finish the job

📍Ethiopia, a country with a longstanding tradition of hosting refugees. Joined by 🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺🇫🇮🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇪 🇮🇹 🇯🇵🇱🇺🇳🇴🇸🇪🇨🇭🇺🇸, we are seeing humanitarian & development action linking up + what can be achieved with donor support in both new displacement emergencies and protracted situations

Conflict in Sudan and its impact: population data show that most displaced by the conflict are in Sudan or neighbouring countries. But an increasing number are moving further afield. Useful data page: dataviz.unhcr.org/products/g…
