Climate refugees worry UNHCR and EU

摘要

Refugees from climate change and rapid urbanisation concerned Kristalina Georgieva, the EU commissioner for international cooperation, humanitarian aid and crisis response, and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Gutenes when they met in Brussels, on 28 April. These new environmental causes for people to flee their homes have recently risen on the international community's agenda, giving organisations like the UNHCR and the EU larger numbers of refugees, but also a greater diversity of related humanitarian crises.
