Happy #LionDay! 🦁

#DYK that today lions inhabit only 8% of their former range?

Their populations have been dramatically reduced due to habitat loss, reduction in prey base & illegal trade.

Let’s act #ForNature & protect these magnificent creatures.

Very welcome to see Australia stepping forward with a much-needed increase in #resettlement places for #refugees.

It's more important than ever that refugees have solutions available. Vital for refugees. Vital for host countries. Better for our world.

Anticipated = Now. Friends & colleagues in #SouthSudan say they have never seen it so bad. We cannot wait for @COP28_UAE to act on the #ClimateCrisis. @Joujouliett @StatePRM @mamadou_dbalde @LossandDamage

It was inspiring to discuss the “Shirika” plan: Kenya’s vision to support the self-reliance of refugees and the resilience of communities hosting them. Thank you, Prime Cabinet Secretary @MusaliaMudavadi and partners: states, financial institutions, private sector, civil society.

Deforestation in #Nicaragua is out of control. Much of the destruction + land grabbing is driven by illegal cattle ranching in supposedly protected reserves.

@PatrolTheMovie is a beautiful film about local communities patrolling their forest: https://t.co/piIugdNaQK

Not at #BonnClimateConference but on the Somali border #Ethiopia talking to @refugees, #IDPs and host communities-climate fueled droughts & floods have taken everything. Of course this is #LossandDamage. We need the #UNFCCC negotiators to be reminded what is at stake. Now. #SB58

At Al-Tayha crossing point, our team is on the ground to receive students who are coming from hard-to-reach areas to Aleppo Governorate. UNHCR in Syria is providing transportation, psychological counseling, remedial classes, legal support, and civil documentation to over 9000 students so they can sit their national exams and pursue their education.

Very excited to mark World Refugee Day with @TD_Canada — a great lineup of refugee voices at the heart 💙 of the program.

Congratulations on the inclusive and innovative approaches that support refugee integration and success in their new communities. 👏👏

Moulid a talented, professional journalists I've worked with in my 30+yrs in comms. He is also one of the most genuine, humble & kind colleagues in the team. So glad to have you on board, @MoulidHujale! 🙌

You've more than earned your place at & bring so much to the table!

Strong partnerships are the only way to effectively support South Sudanese returning from Sudan. Thankful to 🇺🇳 @IOMSouthSudan @OCHASouthSudan  🇪🇺@EUinSouthSudan 🇨🇦 @CanSouthSudan @HopeRestoratio3 and the 🇸🇸 Government for traveling to Renk and Malakal today.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

I am shocked and saddened by reports that at least 10 refugees living in Sudan have died in an attack in Khartoum. UNHCR is trying to reach and provide support to survivors.

All civilians are in danger in Sudan. Guns must be silenced if lives are to be saved and aid delivered.

[Indrika Ratwatte @IndrikaRatwatte]

refugees youth are 65% of the population education, skills, sports are essential elements for their growth. I tried playing Chinlone or cane ball (a National sport in Myanmar), clearly my skill set was underwhelming.

More efforts need to be done individually and collectively #WorldEnvironmentDay2023 #BeatPlasticPollution

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Every day, the equivalent of over 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic is dumped into our oceans, rivers & lakes.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay is a call to #BeatPlasticPollution.

We must work as one to break our addiction to plastic, champion zero waste & build a circular economy.

Great to see the skill development opportunities come to fruition for Rohingya refugees. Thank you Fast Retailing and UNIQLO for the partnership & commitment to enable refugees to contribute and be productive.
