We’re working on a range of projects that are empowering refugees to combat the effects of climate change, and bring about change for themselves, their families and their communities. This includes building solar farms to bring power to remote refugee camps, environmental restoration to prevent flooding, building climate-resilient shelters and supporting the creation of climate-smart livelihoods. Refugees and displaced people are facing an uphill challenge, but UNHCR is here to support them to build better futures, whatever life throws at them. You can help too. Test your knowledge on how climate change is affecting refugees by taking our climate quiz, and then share what you’ve learnt with your friends, family and colleagues. It takes just three minutes, and by informing others, you’re helping to raise awareness and advocate for the rights of refugees (which is three minutes well-spent in our opinion!)
