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.

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.

A huge welcome to @EdemWosornu, our @Refugees Assistant High Commissioner to #Nigeria by the @UN_Nigeria team.
We came together to reinforce our efforts to protect the most fragile, empower displaced communities, and unlock solutions.
Working as one where it matters most.

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.

Homecoming means more than simply crossing a border.
It’s restoring the sense of belonging.

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. 🌍✨

📍 Today in Dakar, UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Edem Wosornu, met with refugees who are rebuilding their lives in Senegal.
From access to identity documentation to higher education through scholarships, these exchanges highlighted the need of creating opportunities that enable refugees to thrive and contribute fully to their communities.

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.

Meeting Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband in London today was a powerful reminder of what refugee protection can make possible.
The UK gave his family safety as they fled Nazi persecution. It also gave me asylum when I needed it most. We know first-hand that refuge can be both life-saving and life-changing.
Seventy-five years after helping shape the Refugee Convention, we discussed how the UK can partner with UNHCR to uphold its legacy around the world — strengthening international protection, ending long-term displacement and supporting the countries that generously host refugees.
