UN Launches Refugee Environmental Protection Fund to Offset Carbon Emissions
CARBON CAPTURE
The UN's refugee agency has introduced the Refugee Environmental Protection (REP) fund to address climate change and its impact on millions of displaced individuals. The initiative seeks to generate US$7 billion to fund projects that involve tree planting and the installation of sustainable cooking stoves in refugee camps. These efforts will produce carbon credits, which can be sold to major polluters, thereby utilizing the skills and labor of refugees to contribute to environmental protection and generate income.
