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.
