The role of (UNHCR) in climate change mitigation and adaptation

The role of  (UNHCR) in climate change mitigation and adaptation


UNHCR has shown its willingness, to participate in the response to displacement in the context of climate change.
 as UNHCR has seen that climate change is a risk multiplier or a threat multiplier for other drivers of displacement. 
Access to livelihoods puts pressures on education and health services, often exacerbated by pressures on governance and access to resources in general.
 UNHCR also expressed concern that when populations are forced to move due to climate change and conflict, they are very rare to return.
 In the past, return was a permanent solution once the conflict ended, but now with climate change and environmental degradation, many people do not find a place to return to. This changes the way UNHCR should look at durable solutions and work with them in the future, as UNHCR has played an important role In supporting the development of international, regional, national and non-national laws and policies related to internally displaced persons with the aim of building and strengthening national capacities in order to provide support to the population so that they are not oppressed Rua to move outside national borders. 
UNHCR has also developed a strategic framework for climate action, which covers three main pillars in terms of response.
 The first pillar revolves around legal and normative action in relation to the protection of people forced to move due to climate change.
 The aim is to support access to protection for displaced persons. In the context of climate change and disasters by guiding, interpreting and applying relevant legal and policy frameworks, developing guidelines and stimulating international discussions, the second pillar relates to enhancing the resilience of refugees and displaced persons to climate and other environmental risks and enhancing preparedness and resilience In cases of disasters, this includes supporting environmental management and renewable energy in situations of displacement. 
As for the third pillar, it talks about what the Commission is doing in the field of green environment by improving environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing negative effects on the environment and identifying aspects of the transition to energy In addition, the Commission is looking for ways to expand small projects and invest in environmental or health initiatives Energy that is included in the national environmental plans and sustainable energy plans.

Principles of international humanitarian law the third and fourth principles The principle of distinguishing between military objectives and civilian objectives With the development of weapons of all kinds, especially the so-called smart ones, it has become possible, to strike the opponent everywhere, and at any time outside the scope of military actions, and thus the possibility of not being exposed, to the areas where civilians are present, and therefore civilians must be protected from the mistakes, and damages of war, through the establishment of controls, and restrictions To distinguish between civilian and military objectives, and to preserve human freedoms, and protect his property in times of peace, and war alike.

Forest fires and climate change Will climate change cause the Amazon rainforest to turn into a savannah?  The Amazon rainforest is well humid, but researchers around the world are increasingly asking how long this will be true.  About three decades ago, alarming research began to suggest that the cumulative effects of both deforestation and climate change could cause significant changes in the South American forest, with the forest expected to become drier and more savanna-like than Africa. Instead of lush, wet and dense landscapes. For nearly two centuries, the Amazon region has acted as a natural buffer protecting our world by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen needed for life, as these forests absorb up to two billion tons of greenhouse emissions annually, but during the past few decades unfortunately, The clearing of trees from the Amazon for the purpose of growing soybeans for livestock or animal pastures has exacerbated the drought in the region, with studies already c

Is the United States will succeed in reducing climate change?

Us and climate change Climate change , is an inescapable reality In the spring of 1933, the new President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was facing a stifling environmental and economic crisis, as the Ohio and Mississippi River basins were completely submerged,and more than a,  .quarter of Americans were out of work.  Roosevelt's response to these clashing forces, plaguing the United States, was to create a Civilian Protection Corps, that would put young men (and men only), to work in soil conservation, building streets and roads, and fighting fires.  The establishment of this civil legion, we are killing two birds with one stone,” where he meant here the first bird, is to protect the environment, and combat the catastrophic effects of climate change (global warming), and the second is to employ Americans and eliminate unemployment.   The American landscape today, is very similar to that bequeathed, by Roosevelt, as lockdowns imposed to stem the spread of COVID-1
