They’ve fled war and persecution—now they’re battling the climate crisis. In Mauritania, Goodwill Ambassador Theo James met refugees bearing the worst of a crisis they didn’t cause. Ahead of #COP29, hear their urgent calls for action.

“While many topics spark division, Europeans are united in the belief the EU has a responsibility to show global solidarity via its aid.” Key call from NGOs for 🇪🇺 aid to grow in these troubled times. Cuts would lead to long term negative consequences. https://t.co/EYv9wW0EvO

Voici un exemple de solidarité #aveclesréfugiés parmi tant d’autres au Niger. À Garin Kaka, lorsque les réfugiés sont arrivés en 2019, effrayés et traumatisés, la communauté locale les a accueillis à bras ouverts. Ils ont partagé des terres et créé des liens. #Journéeduréfugié
