Briefings and meetings in 2024

Date
UNHCR convenes quarterly informal global briefings every year to discuss progress towards implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) and related pledges, initiatives, and global events.
Public event
Two men shake hands on a podium behind the signs 'Co-host' and 'High Commissioner for refugees'.

UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi and co-host Manuel Bessler, head of Switzerland's Humanitarian Aid Unit, shake hands at the end of the first Global Refugee Forum at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.

In 2024, the informal briefings will continue to build on the momentum of the second Global Refugee Forum (GRF), held in 2023. They will provide an opportunity for:

  • pledging entities and representatives of GCR multi-stakeholder initiatives to share their updates on pledge follow-up and implementation
  • UNHCR to provide updates on the roadmap to the High-Level Officials Meeting 2025.
