How to solve the global refugee crisis: The Agenda full episode

June 20 marked the annual World Refugee Day. And this year the statistics are more troubling than ever – 2024 marked a new record – with almost 130 million people across the world displaced, everywhere from Gaza to Sudan. Last year the UN's Refugee Agency, the UNHCR spent nearly $5 billion – less than half of what was needed, thanks largely to governments around the world cutting back on their aid budgets.

To discuss the growing crisis, on this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann is joined by Matthew Saltmarsh, Head of News and Media at the UNHCR; Ahmed Kabello, Sudan expert and CEO of African Stream; and Dr Ruvi Ziegler,  Associate Professor in International Refugee Law at the University of Reading.
