| Read this email in your browser |  | | Welcome to This Week. For the past two seasons of FP’s Course Correction podcast, we’ve challenged ourselves to find ways to make the world better. This season, we’re focusing on a specific global challenge: refugees. Why this single topic? Displacement of people is arguably one of the most significant humanitarian and geopolitical issues of our time. The United Nations estimates that there are 84 million forcibly displaced people around the world, and nearly 27 million of those are considered refugees. These numbers are the highest they have ever been. In just the last month, Europe has experienced its biggest exodus of refugees since 1945 due to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Course Correction partnered with the UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency, to illuminate all aspects of the refugee experience, from the policies to the people they affect. This season will follow refugees and other forcibly displaced persons from the moment they leave their homes to their eventual resettlement or return, detailing arduous journeys that can sometimes last years or even decades. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen.
On Tuesday of next week, former foreign secretary to the United Kingdom David Miliband will join FP editor in chief Ravi Agrawal to discuss the humanitarian consequences of Russia invading Ukraine. Subscribers can register for this FP Live event here.
