“We are seeking ways to make UNHCR a leaner organisation. A greener organisation, one with a lighter carbon footprint. We are investing in change, transforming UNHCR. Reinvigorating our workplace culture and modernizing our systems.” UNHCR’s @KellyTClements at #ExCom2022. https://t.co/4wOHu66uAZ

“The world now faces a humanitarian protection crisis on an unprecedented scale, driven by root causes of inequality, poverty, discrimination, violence, food insecurity and weak governance, each exacerbated by the impacts of climate change.” UNHCR’s @GillianTriggs at #ExCom2022. https://t.co/RIcuW9LV9G

“If we do not receive at least additional $700m especially for our most underfunded operations between now and the end of this year, we will be forced to make severe cuts with negative, dramatic consequences for refugees and host communities.” I made this appeal at #ExCom2022.

“Nearly 8 months later, lives and civilian infrastructure are being inexcusably destroyed. As we speak, my colleagues are reporting to me horrifying strikes on urban centres.” Sharing dramatic information from Ukraine in my #ExCom2022 opening statement.

“The demand for UNHCR’s response has never been greater, while its space to find solutions has never been smaller.” I shared this sobering assessment with States at #ExCom2022 telling them however that we won’t give up — we owe it to 100m refugees and displaced people worldwide. https://t.co/2NzJBEMUB1

A pleasure to host at #UNHCR headquarters Foreign Minister @AHuitfeldt of Norway, one of our closest partners — just three days before the award ceremony named after Fridtjof Nansen, Norwegian explorer, diplomat and the first High Commissioner for Refugees. https://t.co/sB6IV8NJdb

La générosité avec laquelle ont été accueillis les réfugiés ukrainiens en France et en Europe prouve l’efficacité de la coopération entre États et de la solidarité citoyenne: un sujet abordé lors d’une très stimulante discussion avec @YaelBRAUNPIVET hier à l’Assemblée nationale. https://t.co/aAVYhE5n3e
