Summary Note - Localization and Climate Action - UNHCR Global Consultations with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

In 2022, the UNHCR Global Consultations with NGOs will take place in Geneva and online (hybrid format) from 7 to 10 June 2022. The themes for the Global Consultation with NGOs are 'Climate Action' and 'Localization'. These themes build on the UNHCR Strategic Framework for Climate Action and the 2021 Regional Consultations with NGOs, which focused on the Localization of humanitarian action and in many cases also examined the intersection with climate action, recognizing the essential engagement of local actors. These themes were also addressed through the 2021 Monthly online Consultations.
