Upcoming Events

We are pleased to announce the upcoming side event, “Digital Identity and Statelessness: Towards Inclusive Digital Transformation,” organized as part of the 2026 UNHCR–NGO Global Consultations. Co-organized by Nationality For All with the support of 9 regional and international organizations, this session will take place via Zoom Meetings. It provides a critical opportunity for participants to examine how digital identity systems and digitalized civil registration impact stateless persons and those at risk of statelessness.

The Global Alliance to End Statelessness is pleased to co-sponsor a Human Rights Council side event on Practical Approaches to Accelerating Birth Registration Through Interoperability with Other Sectors, on 28 September 2026, 13:00-14:30 CEST

The launch of the Global Recommendations on Nationality and Statelessness in the Context of Climate Change will take place on 22 September 2026, 11:30-12:30 CEST. Developed jointly by UNHCR and the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness (PMCS), the new Global Recommendations provide practical guidance for governments and other stakeholders to protect the right to a nationality, prevent and reduce statelessness, and safeguard the rights of stateless people in the context of climate change.
