Climate shocks, combined with conflict, acute food insecurity and the lingering effects of the pandemic, impact people across the globe. But those least responsible for the climate crisis and least able to adapt to its shocks are being hit hardest. https://t.co/ywhCSV7cTu

Despite continuous advocacy efforts, nearly 600 survivors - some who have been at sea for up to 2 weeks - remain stranded on board 4 NGO vessels at sea. They need to disembark swiftly, without further delay. The priority must be on saving lives and respecting human dignity. https://t.co/TsGW06eovI

8yrs ago we launched the #IBelong Campaign to End Statelessness. Great progress has been made + hundreds of thousands of people now have nationality. But more is to be done. We call on Govts to close the legal + policy gaps to ensure no-one is left behind. https://t.co/JOs9BvEgOa

Statelessness is a pervasive and grave human rights violations, affecting the lives of millions of people worldwide. Without papers, stateless people are left to live a "life in the shadows", unable to access fundamental human rights and fully participate in society. https://t.co/CmwyhdLZPe

The forced removal of people to places where they may face risk of persecution, torture or other serious or irreparable harm would amount to “refoulement”, which is explicitly prohibited under international refugee and human rights law. https://t.co/FIdRQriHiY

Congratulations to the Olympic Refuge Foundation and the Refugee Olympic Team for the Princess of Asturias Award for Sport! We’re delighted they’ve won this award given the opportunities they provide to refugee athletes in developing their sporting and personal capabilities. https://t.co/0rG1FvbGgj

Pleased to be with stateless changemakers, EU & civil society actors at today's @ENStatelessness event.   More action is needed to ensure everyone has the right to nationality. I called on 🇪🇺 institutions to develop a dedicated action plan to #endstatelessness in the EU & beyond. https://t.co/1c8CUCNtrA

Productive discussion with @MKoehlerEU in Brussels today on the centrality of protection in our partnership with @eu_echo. I look forward to continuing to work together to ensure effective protection for refugees and internally displaced people.

In Dublin, I saw first-hand the extraordinary efforts of the Irish Government to welcome those fleeing conflict and persecution. Thank you to the Irish people and Minister @rodericogorman for your generous response. https://t.co/BmNQfeYQxo

It is vital that refugees have access to justice, legal support, information and representation. The legal community has a critical role to play in helping refugees advance their rights. This was the subject of our discussion at today's PILnet Global Forum https://t.co/vQb3W6Odwt
