Three in four forcibly displaced people live in countries with high-to-extreme exposure to climate-related hazards. This shows how deeply climate change, conflict and forced displacement are now connected. Refugees and asylum seekers often carry the burden of war, conflict and displacement, while also living in host communities that are themselves exposed to heat, drought, flooding and environmental stress.

@RCCA_Youth is conducting a three-day Tongogara Climate Resilience Discussion with youth and young people in Tongogara Refugee Settlement.
The discussion creates space for young people to share lived experiences of climate-related displacement, education challenges, livelihoods, food security, shelter conditions and community resilience. It also helps strengthen local evidence on how climate and environmental planning can better include refugees, asylum seekers and host communities.
