The Climate Crisis is a Human Crisis
Globally, 80 per cent of the world's displaced by conflict and persecution originate from countries on the frontlines of the climate emergency. Living in makeshift shelters in extreme climate conditions and conflict-plagued zones, away from support networks, and lacking sources of income, refugees often don’t have what they need to adapt.
In South Sudan, where two-thirds of the country is currently experiencing flooding, more than 900,000 people have been directly impacted. Such weather-related disasters, including those listed below, have triggered more than three-quarters of the new internal displacements recorded worldwide, accounting for 30.7 million new displacements.
I'd like to make a one-time donation of the below amount:
Your money helps UNHCR provide protection, shelter and other forms of assistance, and advocacy on behalf of displaced and stateless people every year.
We ensure that as many funds as possible are redirected to refugees, stateless persons and asylum-seekers. 85 per cent of all funds raised go directly to field operations. 7 per cent is allocated for global programmes, helping refugees, internally displaced people, asylum seekers and stateless people under the UNHCR mandate around the world, and 8 per cent is for headquarters administration.
UNHCR staff work as closely as possible with and for people forced to flee, with 90 per cent of our workforce based in field locations. For further details on UNHCR's budget, read our Global Report.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organisation dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution.
We lead international action to protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
We deliver life-saving assistance, help safeguard fundamental human rights, and develop solutions that ensure people have a safe place called home where they can build a better future. We also work to ensure that stateless people are granted a nationality.
We work in over 130 countries, using our expertise to protect and care for millions.
Upon the form submission, you will be directed to a secure server hosted by WorldPay, which processes online donations on our behalf.
The transaction fee may be applied by a few credit card-issuing banks. For details, please contact your card-issuing bank.
