UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, launched the UNHCR Climate Resilience Fund.

❖ It aims to boost the protection of refugees and displaced communities who are most threatened by climate change.

❖ For the first time, the Fund will exclusively target financing efforts to protect the most threatened displaced communities, equipping them to prepare for, withstand and recover from climate-related shocks.

❖ In 2022, more than 70 percent of refugees and asylum seekers fled from highly climate-vulnerable countries.

❖ The UNHCR works to protect more than 114 million people forced to flee their homes globally.
