This February marks two years since conflict in the Ukraine escalated, driving many people to leave their homes in search of safety. More than 14 million people are still in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the UNHCR.

Global warming results in climate change such as droughts, sea level rise, prolonged heatwaves, mass forest fires, and the disruption of weather patterns.
