UN Launches Refugee Environmental Protection Fund to Offset Carbon Emissions
The UN has initiated the Refugee Environmental Protection (REP) fund to employ refugees in carbon offset projects. The fund aims to raise US$7 billion to plant trees and install sustainable cooking stoves in refugee camps, creating carbon credits for sale on the global market.

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.
