Global Appeal 2025 | Regional Overview

Humanitarian crises in the Asia-Pacific region are expected to increase in scope, scale and complexity in 2025, while decreasing donor funding will not keep pace with the rising needs. In 2025, UNHCR will seek the fulfilment of over 150 pledges made at the Global Refugee Forum, including more than 60 from States committing to enhance protection and solutions, especially for Afghan and Rohingya refugees.
