Retired UNHCR Representative

As world leaders gather for #COP28, we have an important question.

How do you flee climate change?

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am alarmed by what is happening in Antarctica where the evidence overwhelmingly shows that there is an acceleration of melting of ice, which could be catastrophic to coastal communities everywhere.

What happens in Antarctica doesn’t stay in Antarctica.

On the 9th anniversary of the #IBelong Campaign, we urge States to make good on their promises to #EndStatelessness.

[UNHCR Zimbabwe @UNHCRZimbabwe]

Preventing risks of statelessness among children through birth registration and other measures is a top priority.

Every child has the right to a nationality. #IBelong

[UNHCR Zimbabwe @UNHCRZimbabwe]

Significant progress has been made since the start of the #IBelong campaign to #EndStatelessness, but we need MORE commitment and action.

Join us in helping millions of people to belong.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

I join those calling for a ceasefire in Gaza: killing civilians and bombing hospitals won’t lead to real peace, which is the only true guarantee of safety and security for all Israelis and all Palestinians.

It will bring more war, more destruction, more fear to both, and beyond.

[UNHCR Zimbabwe @UNHCRZimbabwe]

Ensuring education for refugee children is key to protecting and empowering them.

Thanks @UNZimbabwe Resident Coordinator, Commissioner for Refugees, donors, partners, UN agencies and the education sector for your participation in today's briefing on Refugee Education.

Amidst a divided world and divisive politics, we must come together for those forced to flee their homes.

@FilippoGrandi issued a sobering and timely plea to Member States at today’s #ExCom

[UNHCR Zimbabwe @UNHCRZimbabwe]

At the #SDGSummit, world leaders have agreed to intensify their efforts to achieve the #GlobalGoals.

As expressed by the young refugee @EvodeHakiziman3, the 2030 Agenda is helping to create a more sustainable world. "Let's join hands and make lives better."

#2030isNow
