A new ITUC briefing<\/a> on climate change and migration outlines some of the solutions demanded by trade unions to improve support for refugees.<\/p>\n ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle said: \u201cThis day serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage of refugees and the urgent need for global action to ensure their protection. Trade unions are uniquely placed to support people seeking refuge by protecting their right to work and democratic, workplace rights. This is what we do; they are core values for the trade union movement, and central to the ITUC For Democracy<\/a>campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n We call on governments, employers, and communities worldwide to uphold the principles of solidarity, equality, and inclusivity, and take the following actions to support refugees:<\/p>\n ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle concluded: \u201cThe ITUC reaffirms its commitment to advocating for the rights of refugees and combatting discrimination and xenophobia. By supporting refugees, we not only uphold our humanitarian obligations but also build stronger, more resilient societies.\u201d<\/p>\n The UNHCR estimates that there are around 130 million people forcibly displaced<\/a> from their homes in 2024. This includes refugees, asylum-seekers, and millions of displaced people both within their countries as well as across borders due to adverse impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
