Description

As part of World Refugee Day, the UNHCR highlighted its collaboration with the IKEA Foundation</a> to transform the Azraq Refugee Camp</a> in Jordan into the world’s first of its kind to be powered by renewable energy, beginning in May 2017</a>.According to an official press release</a>, the solar farm has brought renewable power to a population that lived for two and a half years with only sporadic access to electricity and will contribute to Jordan’s national energy strategy to achieve a green economy by 2020. The solar farm will result in immediate savings of US $1.5 million per year and it will reduce CO2 emissions by 2,370 tons per year."The video was released as part of a larger campaign around the release of the UNHCR’s Global Trends Report 2016</a> and World Refugee Day</a>.
