How the climate crisis changes homes around the world.
The IRC helps people affected by humanitarian crises to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. We work in over 50 crisis-affected countries, bringing ingenuity, fortitude and optimism to making a lasting impact for the people we serve. We arrive at the onset of crisis and aim to stay as long as we are needed. We also help refugees and other vulnerable people integrate into their new communities across dozens of cities in Europe and the Americas.
