Good morning.

First of all, I want to thank you all for participating in this important conversation. I extend particular thanks to our supporters and to those who have traveled considerable distances to join us.

It is fitting that this year marks the halfway point of the Sustainable Development Goals – a moment when we are all thinking more than ever about what it truly means to ‘leave no one behind’. This spirit drives much of the global effort to support those who have been forced to flee their homes.

This support for refugees would not be possible without the work of our partners and the generosity and dedication of those countries hosting large refugee populations. We are pleased to have some of these states represented at this conference, and I commend them for their efforts.

However, we are all too aware that the challenge of meeting even basic needs for forcibly displaced people is getting harder. The trends are against us, with total displacement climbing in 2022 to over 108 million people, including nearly 40 million refugees. These are truly sobering figures, but there are things we can do.

First, we can work together across sectors and regions to tackle the root causes of displacement. From various conflict zones, we’ve seen in the last year alone the extent to which armed conflict and violence drive displacement. Alongside other members of the international community, we have been proud to provide emergency humanitarian assistance in these contexts and around the world. But we must redouble our efforts to support and sustain peace, to enable the safe return of refugees to their homes.

I am also aware that I am speaking when climate migration and displacement is no longer hypothetical, but a reality. We cannot ignore accelerating climate impacts such as drought and environmental degradation. And as the threat of climate change increases globally, the number of people having to leave their homes will continue to grow.

And yet, there are reasons for hope. From various international agendas and conferences, the world is coming together to address this existential threat and protect the most vulnerable from its impacts.

It is our responsibility to make sure that forcibly displaced people are included in this conversation. This includes using all the possibilities afforded by international forums to ensure that we are not working in silos. We are acting to mobilize climate funding that will address the underlying climate-related drivers of humanitarian crises. This will increase the supply of, and access to, the climate finance that vulnerable countries need.

Secondly, we can put those who bear the brunt of displacement at the center of our approach to solutions. We are proud to champion the rights of women and girls around the world.

A core principle of this is ensuring access to 12 years of quality education. Education for displaced girls in emergencies or conflict is a powerful tool. It is one of the best mechanisms for protecting them from gender-based violence and it gives them the tools to rebuild their home communities.
