Nearly 90 million refugees and displaced people live in countries exposed to climate hazards, in a crisis they contributed least to.   Fragile states get just 10% of climate finance. The answer: lasting solutions, not short relief cycles.   No Escape: unhcr.org/media/no-escape-ii…

In Dnipro, @eu_echo visited a transit centre where UNHCR partners provide critical support to newly displaced people. The delegation also met a recently displaced family & heard about their journey. With @eu_echo support, UNHCR continues helping those forced to flee across🇺🇦.

Yesterday, I had the honour of briefing the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee in New York for the first time as High Commissioner. The Committee remains a critical global forum for discussion of human rights and humanitarian issues, bringing together all UN Member States. My remarks👇 unhcr.org/news/speeches-and-…

Congolese refugees in Burundi who have already lost so much are also more vulnerable to climate shocks. Our teams & partners are on the ground doing what they can despite already stretched funding. Your support can help make all the difference. @UN_Burundi
Following devastation of Busuma refugee site by torrential rains and strong winds, refugees need urgent humanitarian assistance and a minimum level of safety and dignity. Every contribution matters ! Every act of solidarity can save a life! Every minute counts! Let us act now!

What a privilege to be in Dakar for this historic moment. Watching the first Refugee Youth Olympic Team march alongside athletes from around the world was a powerful reminder that talent knows no borders.
🎉 The Opening Ceremony of #Dakar2026 marked the beginning of a historic new chapter. All eyes turned to Dakar as Africa hosted the first-ever Youth Olympic Games on its soil. Alongside young athletes from around the world, members of the Refugee Olympic Youth Team proudly marched onto the Olympic stage. 🌍✨ @jojdakar2026 @RefugeesOlympic @Refugees #Dakar2026 #YOG #RefugeeOlympicTeam #WithRefugees #sportforprotection #InclusionThroughSport

Russian shelling severely damaged Valentyn’s home in Kharkiv region, leaving it exposed to rain, wind & cold. Thanks to @eu_echo 🇪🇺, UNHCR is helping families repair homes and get ready for winter. For Valentyn, these repairs made it possible to live at home again.

Registration➡️the first 1st step👣towards empowerment! For refugees, it opens doors to documentation, legal aid, health, education + other essential services It is🔑for people to exercise their rights + build greater self-reliance. Thank you @ECHO_MiddleEast! @UNHCRgov
We welcomed @ECHO_MiddleEast 🇪🇺 to UNHCR’s Registration Centre in Baghdad and met with refugees. ECHO’s support helps UNHCR and partners provide registration, documentation, and legal assistance, enabling refugees and asylum-seekers to access protection and exercise their rights
