High-Level Officials Meeting 2025

Delegates listen to speakers during a plenary session at the High-Level Officials Meeting taking place virtually in the International Conference Centre in Geneva on 14 and 15 December 2021. The meeting was convened by UNHCR as a follow-up to the 2019 Global Refugee Forum.

Reflecting on progress and charting the future

The High-Level Officials Meeting 2025 will take place from 15-17 December 2025, at the International Conference Centre (CICG) in Geneva, Switzerland, following on from the Global Refugee Forum 2023.

Priorities for the High-Level Officials Meeting 2025 include:

  • Expanding support for refugees and the countries who receive them;
  • Advancing implementation of pledges made as part of the Global Refugee Forums including through the multi-stakeholder pledge framework;
  • Directing efforts to the areas in need of further support.

The roadmap to the HLOM is available online, and the programme will be available soon.

Get involved

Ahead of the HLOM 2025, stakeholders are encouraged to keep making new pledges – in particular those in support of the multi-stakeholder pledges – and submitting progress updates on existing pledges via the online forms.

Additionally good practices can also be shared at any time, contributing to the collection of nearly 600 published so far.

Finally, in light of the success of the Virtual Space created on this Platform for the HLOM 2021, a new Digital Space will be produced, showcasing a collection of work from GCR stakeholders towards achieving the objectives of the Compact. Information on how to share content for inclusion in the Space will be made available soon, and all stakeholders are encouraged to participate.

Stocktaking and preparatory meetings
