👉 Yesterday, our Secretary General Charlotte Slente visited the Azraq Camp in Jordan, home to around 41,000 Syrian refugees spread over 14.7 km². Originally established in 2014, the camp is structured around several operational villages that help foster a sense of community and ownership among its residents. 🔹 The visit began with an insightful screening discussing the current challenges faced by the refugees alongside World Food Programme, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and UNICEF. Discussions with provided firsthand insights into the impactful services provided and the pressing needs within the camp. 🔹 Moreover, the Secretary General's tour included visits to the camp’s comprehensive facilities like essential water facilities and community centres. A special focus was on the DRC-managed sites where she observed several core sector activities at the DRC community centre in village 2. 🔹 The visit also featured engaging discussions: a brief but insightful dialogue with community members, beneficiaries and DRC staff, gaining valuable feedback and insights into the daily operations and challenges in delivering aid. 🔹 The camp’s management exemplifies the collaborative efforts to provide sustainable support. The demographics, including one in three households headed by women, about 4.5% of the population living with disabilities, and an average of 100 babies born each month, highlight the dynamic nature of the camp. 🔹 This visit underscores DRC’s commitment to supporting refugees and enhancing our services to meet their evolving needs. Engagements like today’s are crucial in ensuring that our interventions are effective and meaningful.

Climate change is arguably one of the defining challenges of our time.  🔸 Certainly, in the displacement-affected areas where we work, climate change and environmental degradation not only potentially accelerate localized conflict over natural resources, but also deepen vulnerabilities as livelihoods or living conditions erode. Climate change and environmental degradation are a threat multiplier for displaced people.   🔸 We have therefore committed to taking climate action across our organization, focusing on the three pillars of adaptation, mitigation and advocacy.   Read more about our climate and environment action here👇

👉 Today the largest generation of young people in history (1.9 billion between the age of 10-29) live on our planet. 90% of them live in the Global South, and many are affected by conflict, climate change, and a lack of opportunities to become self-reliant and live a life in dignity.   🔸 Therefore, ensuring pathways to self-reliance of young people affected by displacement, e.g. through access to jobs, as well as representation in the decision-making processes that concern them, is a timely and highly important issue, and generating effective solutions is urgently needed!   🔸 This and much more will be discussed at the ECOSOC Youth Forum side-event: "Youth shaping sustainable and innovative solutions: Reinforcing the 2030 Agenda and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises". The event is co-hosted by DRC, International Labour Organization, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UNICEF, Save the Children International, Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action, Global Refugee Youth Network (GRYN), Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, and Denmark In New York.   #ECOSOCYouthForum2024 #RefugeeYouthInAction
