Globally, the number of forcibly displaced persons looked after by the UNHCR has reached 51.2 million—the highest number since World War II. Energy is a major challenge, not only in terms of the high costs to donors but also the health, environmental, and social costs for refugees and their host communities. At present the energy needs of millions of displaced people are being met inadequately and inefficiently, and not through the most effective or carbon-efficient interventions. This Chatham House report will outline the case for finding sustainable energy solutions that improve outcomes for health, security, livelihoods, emissions, and cost savings.

Caroline Baylon is research associate in science, technology, and cyber security at Chatham House, where her work has covered topics including critical infrastructure protection, privacy, the digital divide, and Internet governance. She also serves as editor of the Journal of Cyber Policy, Chatham House’s peer-reviewed academic journal. She speaks regularly at international conferences and is a frequent media commentator and contributor, most recently writing a series of articles on the challenges that drones pose to nuclear facilities. Roger Brunt was appointed the U.K. government’s regulator for security in the civil nuclear industry as the director of the Office for Civil Nuclear Security, after retiring from the British Army in 2004. He oversaw the introduction of a number of significant security improvements at civil nuclear sites, including the wider deployment of an armed response capability, improved vetting and information security procedures, and measures to test the civil nuclear security regime. He also promoted the merger of the United Kingdom’s security and safety regulators in 2007 to enhance regulatory coherence in the industry. David Livingstone is an associate fellow at Chatham House, where he has participated in a broad range of projects on national-level risk management, cyber security, counterterrorism, serious organized crime, nuclear security, and space security. He has given evidence to the U.K. parliament, has provided expert witness services to the Central Criminal Court, and is a regular media commentator.
