The number of refugees around the world continues to grow while support and resources for refugees and host countries diminish. The World Refugee Council recognizes that the current approach is neither politically or financially sustainable and that transformative change is needed to reform the global refugee system. In its efforts to compliment the ongoing negotiations of the UN Global Compact on Refugees expected in the fall of 2018, the World Refugee Council will convene for its fifth meeting in Rhodes, Greece to discuss bold solutions to reform the global refugee system.
The meeting will bring together government representatives, civil society actors and experts from across the globe to identify ways to promote cooperation, strengthen political accountability, enhance funding sources and deploy technology to overcome the systemic failures of the current global refugee system.
