A different kind of emergency, seen from above. Chad continues to welcome refugees. Even as devastating floods wreak havoc across the region. Extreme weather is increasing the strain on displaced communities and their hosts. They need urgent support: bit.ly/4ft1I7o

As #COP29 begins: Displaced people are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. They're least responsible for it. They're bearing the brunt of it. They're being left behind in the response. They need protection and they need climate justice. And they need it now.

Life for those forced to flee is already one of the most tragic stories of our time. When you layer the climate crisis on that, the impacts are nearly unimaginable. Displaced people are on the frontlines. We need to fight for our 🌍 and we need to fight for them. #COP29

I joined Amy Pope at #COP29 to amplify the voices of refugees and migrants and drive #ClimateAction forward with them and for them. Their voice — and the voice of all those most impacted by climate change — is essential to discuss, plan and carry out appropriate responses.

Just arrived in Riyadh for #COP16 on #Desertification. The challenges posed by drought & desertification are immense, but so is the resilience of displaced communities facing them. #ClimateChange drives displacement, with 3/4 of refugees in countries vulnerable to climate

When people are uprooted by conflict or disaster, they need essentials—quickly. At UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency , our job is to deliver those essential relief items to people forced to flee in a timely, efficient, and #sustainable manner. As part of our efforts on mitigating the impact of

Will #2025 be the year #climatefinance reaches the most vulnerable? Delays in promised funding are devastating. #LossAndDamage could cost up to $580B/year, displacing millions. Meanwhile, resources to build #resilience remain out of reach for those on the frontlines of the

The new partnership between UNHCR and Adaptation Fund marks a bold step to scale up locally led adaptation in fragile, conflict-affected areas. We will ensure refugees and displaced people are protected and empowered as agents of climate action. This is how we build resilience.
