Energy Solutions for Displacement Settings (ESDS) - Factsheet
Context
By the end of 2019, 79.5 million people had fled their homes worldwide. While the numbers of forcibly displaced are at an all-time high, the num-ber of complex, protracted crises is also increas-ing. The Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) rep-resents the political will and ambition of the in-ternational community for strengthened cooper-ation and solidarity with refugees and affected host countries. It is a framework for more pre-dictable and equitable responsibility-sharing be-tween governments, international organisations and other stakeholders. It constitutes a unique opportunity to transform the way the world re-sponds to refugee situations, benefiting both ref-ugees and host communities. In 2019, at the first Global Refugee Forum, 280 policy pledges were made by host countries to enhance refugee’s in-clusion in their national systems. These com-mendable pledges need the close collaboration of humanitarian and development actors to ensure their sustainable implementation, in line with the principles enshrined in the GCR.
Partners
GIZ's Energy Solutions for Displacement Settings (ESDS) project cooperate with UNHCR to enhance the access to sustainable energy in displacement contexts, and the Energypedia page has been created to share learnings across various practitioners to spur the development of clean energy solutions.
