This news post highlights the urgent need for collective action to address the impact of climate change on displaced populations and their host communities. The UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, emphasizes the harsh reality faced by displaced individuals, who are disproportionately affected by the climate emergency.

The convergence of conflict and climate change exacerbates the challenges faced by displaced communities, making it difficult for them to secure safety, resources, and sustainable livelihoods. The most vulnerable populations, who have contributed the least to environmental degradation, are the ones suffering the most from the effects of climate change.

UNHCR calls for a robust response from the global community, urging for inclusive and innovative solutions to address the nexus between climate change and displacement. The agency emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the plight of the most vulnerable and involving displaced communities in global climate discussions and responses.

As the international community prepares for the upcoming Global Refugee Forum, UNHCR is committed to collaborating with governments, private sector partners, and communities to pave the way for a sustainable future. The agency invites the global community to join in tackling urgent challenges by participating in climate action pledges and contributing to a more sustainable future for displaced communities.
