The 2023 Global Refugee Forum, a meeting of states and stakeholders from around the world to act in support of forcibly displaced people, is taking place December 13-15 in Geneva, Switzerland. Following the initial Forum in 2019, this gathering of delegates and organizations is a way to take stock of progress made towards the objectives set out in the 2018 Global Refugee Compact, and to encourage states, coalitions and other actors to commit to concrete steps that will bring us closer to those objectives.
