To support displaced communities struggling with climate change

UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, presented at COP29 the Refugees for Climate Action network, an initiative designed to amplify the voices of displaced communities in the global climate debate. The network brings together for the first time eight displaced people from around the world who are passionate about climate activism and advocating for climate justice, action and inclusion of refugees and displaced communities in policy discussions.
The Refugees for Climate Action group was initially convened in 2023 by UNHCR to create a space where refugees and displaced communities on the front lines of climate change could share their experiences and knowledge. At COP29, UNHCR officially launched the group, voicing an urgent call to address the impact of the climate crisis on refugees and displaced communities around the world. The group will serve as an advisory body on climate issues, contribute to major global and local climate events, and work to ensure that the voices and perspectives of refugees and displaced people are integrated into UNHCR's work and international climate discussions.
