UN hosts first Global Refugee Forum in Geneva, where world leaders and governments are discussing the world's 70 million refugees
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi speaks at the opening ceremony of the Global Refugee Forum.
“Our world is in turmoil and 25 million refugees are looking to us for solutions” Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, told the event. He noted that the number is far higher if you add in people who are displaced within their own countries. Officials and leaders in attendance noted that most of the world's biggest refugee hosts aren't among the globe's richest countries.
