Ukraine Refugee Situation

Ukraine Refugee Situation

The full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has caused massive civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure, forcing people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance. Since February 2022, millions of refugees from Ukraine have crossed borders into neighbouring countries, and millions more have been forced to flee within the country. They are in need of protection and support. In light of the emergency and the scale of humanitarian needs, an inter-agency regional refugee response is being carried out, in support of the efforts of refugee-hosting countries. The Regional Refugee Response Plan brings together national authorities, UN agencies, NGOs, as well as civil society organisations and focuses on supporting host country governments to ensure the inclusion of refugees, with full access to their rights, in line with international standards. It also prioritizes the provision of critical protection services and humanitarian assistance.

Population réfugiés et demandeurs d'asile à N'djaména(Octobre 2024)

Dans le cadre de l'opération d'enregistrement des demandeurs d'asile à N'Djamena, une collaboration novatrice entre le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés (HCR), la Commission Nationale de l'Accueil et de la Réinsertion des Réfugiés (CNARR) et l'Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANATS) a été mise en place. Cette initiative, première du genre au Tchad, vise à détecter et à prévenir les cas de fraude, notamment en identifiant les individus détenant des Numéros Nationaux d'Identification (NNI) ou une double nationalité, ainsi que les citoyens tchadiens cherchant à se faire enregistrer en tant que réfugiés.

The link between climate change, biodiversity loss, and forced displacement

UNHCR is participating in the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16), exploring the increasingly evident nexus between climate change, biodiversity loss, and forced displacement. The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the decision-making body of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which meets every two years to address the global climate crisis. In 2024, for the first time in history, Colombia hosted the biannual Conference on Biodiversity, marking its 16th edition. COP16 took place in Cali, Valle del Cauca, from October 21 to November 1, 2024. Each of these conferences aimed to take decisive actions for the protection of biological diversity. In this document, UNHCR presents its actions in Colombia to ensure the rights of people displaced by environmental factors.
