The link between climate change and growing displacement is crystal clear.

But it is those who are the LEAST RESPONSIBLE for global warming that are being hit the hardest.

20% by 2025

UNHCR is:

➡️ incorporating sustainability into all areas of its supply chain

➡️ working towards a minimum:  

🟢 20 % reduction in greenhouse gases emitted from relief items
🟢 20 % increase in biodegradable or recycled material in relief items

#UNHCR has a plan of action to mitigate the impact of climate change on forcibly displaced people and their hosts, support their resilience and minimize the environmental footprint of humanitarian assistance.

In Dadaab and Kakuma camps, learners are back in class, following the partial reopening of schools.

UNHCR and partners are implementing #COVID19 protocols to ensure a safe environment for #refugee learners and teachers, and are supporting host-community schools.

Honored to excitedly discuss the impact of UNHCR and partners’ contribution to area based development, through #KISEDP, on the host community in #Turkana West, with the local elected leaders, county and national government representation.

[UNHCR Eastern and Southern Africa @RefugeesAfrica]

More than ever, 380,000 #Burundi refugees need our help.

Insufficient food resources has potential for increased malnutrition among refugee children.

With additional funding, we can help families achieve self-reliance . https://t.co/12N5hXsDKr
