THE FUTURE OF RESOLVING DISPLACEMENT & POVERTY IS BY INVESTMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH BENEFITS OUR PLANET AND ALL OF HUMANITY
HELPING UNDERSTAND & RESOLVE MIGRATION & REFUGEE SETTLEMENT ISSUES
RESETTLEMENT PROGRAMS LEAD TO REFUGEE REDUCTION & SECURITY OF REFUGEES
Displaced people migrate due to fear of their safety or lives due to threat and or war and also due to socioeconomic decline often brought about due to poor farming conditions, lack of industry and or environmental/climate changes.
Vulnerability to climate change, energy security, access to water and to critical raw materials, and the development of recreational activities limits biodiversity which has a negative affect upon what crops can be grown and sustainability on food supply.
This reality is translated by the concept of “ecosystem services”, which include water treatment and recycling, the conservation of productive land, resistance to invasive pests, plant pollination, the reproduction of fish stocks and climate regulation, among others. However, biodiversity has been effected on land and seas where biodiversity has been in decline for over 50 years.
We must be practical and realistic in applying sustainable green solutions whilst at the same time applying all instruments and changes in realising our ply and applying changes for improvements whilst introducing sustainable green development alternatives.
Sustainable green development should be an alternative to the orthodox development methodology and ethos, the reality is land needs to rest from over farming, irrigation to be better planned and water recycling systems to be applied and for fish to be allowed to replenish our seas. All sounds good, all takes many years to achieve results, but in the meantime how do we feed ourselves?
There are over 200 million displaced people around the world, their displacement leads to migration, their migration is determined upon their present locations, on whether that location can provide, shelter and sustainable food supply, water, sanitation, health, education and jobs, the assessment of this is most often the driving factor of migration to seek these needs, needs that drive displacement, needs required and sought out by people to increase their life chances.
Such people are known to all of us as migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, illegal immigrants, depending on their status, they are labeled, however, what ever their label may be, they are simply people seeking ways to increase their and their families life chances.
The URGC has applied research and assessment on sustainable solutions to help create sustainable green development and socioeconomic development and infrastructure that will help migrants settle or for those who can return home to back to their return homes.
The UN Agencies and Governments expenditure in maintaining refugees/migrants is ever increasing to the degree that UN Agencies and Governments are struggling to maintain support and aid, this cannot be maintained and as migrant and refugee numbers increase and with all the goodwill in the world it cannot be maintained.
We have all heard the phrase 'give a man a fish and he will eat one day but give a man the means to catch the fish and he can eat every day' this has a great deal of truth but only good if their is enough fish stocks in their lakes or sea, we can use phrases and sayings that make sense and apply logic to them but the reality is, it does not always feed people and even in cases where land and water is available for farming, drops are never more than 50/50 chance of success and even in cases of success 25-40% of crops are spoilt or unfit for consumption.
As human beings we require to control our environment so as to create a sustainable food supply and agricultural farming or livestock farming is a good example of that, that means we must rely upon our climate and environment to provide us with the sustainable food solutions we seek an issue that has created over 60% of migration and refugee issues globally, so how much can we realistically rely upon our environment, climate, water supply and suitable agricultural land, as well availability and fish stocks to feed 54 million refugees and migrants globally every day?. The reality is no, we cannot.
To bring about settlement or re-settlement of refugees with stability we need to apply the following -
1. Sustainable ongoing food supply
2. Water & sanitation
3. Accommodation
4. Schools services
5. Health services
6. Job opportunities
This requires development of sustainable green socioeconomic infrastructure
Applying the following -
1. Solar Hydroponic industry with bi-industries (Please see loaned example by clicking on links below)

http://www.vassili-group.com/soil-free-farming.html
2. Solar Animal Farming (Please see loaned example by clicking on links below)

http://www.vassili-group.com/solar---chicken--egg-farm.html
3. Fish Farming (Please see loaned example by clicking on links below)
http://www.vassili-group.com/fish-farms.html
These examples work, they do not rely upon climate or environmental changes or large water or donations of agricultural land in countries where displaced people have no legal right to such land
Displaced people have no legal status in the hosting countries, however, within refugee camps and other places of settlement or places from which displacement emanated from such sustainable solutions can be effectively applied, allowing mass populations to receive regular nutritional food supplies as well as encouraging people to re-migrate back to their homes.
These sustainable solutions create industries and bi-industries that allow people to create jobs and sustainable future
The cost of UN Agencies and Governments to build such sustainable food supply solutions will be 90% less and more cost efficient than the cost of food supply and aid which can no longer be realistically sustained.
Accommodation issues combined with education, health and social development is also required and again there are affordable solutions to this that helps resolve the on-going migration issue, which you can see examples loaned to us by the company Vassili Group of light steel buildings which cost 70% less than conventional build cost and can be built up to 80% faster than conventional build as well as being greener and more energy efficient

Finding sustainable solutions must start with finding sustainable local food development and accommodation development with education, health and social infrastructure. By providing this within refugee camps we are able to maintain migration flow, by applying this within regions where refugees have migrated from encourages the return of refugees to their homes.
The vast majority of such solutions allow the rejuvenation of agricultural land and fish stocks to replenish which greatly benefits the environment and provides future food supply sustainability to avoid repeat of such displacement/migration crisis. Settlements can be created via these sustainable green development methods.

IT IS VITAL OUR EFFORTS ASSIST UN AGENCIES & GOVERNMENTS IN PROVIDING SUSTAINABLE GREEN SOLUTIONS BY FIRSTLY OFFERING REALISTIC, VIABLE & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTAL SOLUTIONS THAT ARE COST EFFECTIVE FOR UN AGENCIES & GOVERNMENTS TO APPLY TO HELP REDUCE THE COST OF MIGRATION AND REFUGEE AID & SUPPORT
Morally, costs should not be an issue but unfortunately UN Agencies and Governments do not have endless pockets
The costs that UN Agencies and Governments incur in the daily aid and support of refugees and climate/environmental migrants/displaced people is astronomical and cannot be sustained, solutions are vital to resolve this issue and the URGC strongly favours the solutions of sustainable green development in regions that migrants and refugees can return back to their homes or land where they can be assured of sustainable food supplies, accommodation, education, health and social development with opportunities for socioeconomic development and infrastructure.
There are cases where refugees cannot return back to their homes and are living in host countries within refugee camps, this again is an astronomical cost to UN Agencies and hosting Governments. The development of such sustainable food supplies allows up to 90% cost saving to UN Agencies & Governments.
The other issue which UN Agencies would like to see resolved is job opportunity for refugees, we once again take example of the Vassili Group policy that all construction and development requires workers, they assure that up to 99% of their workers are refugees and further offer women training, childcare to allow them to also work on equal pay policy, these are examples that can be adopted by many companies, allowing refugees to obtain jobs in building their own homes they themselves will live in, building the schools their own children will attend, the health centres they will all use and overall building the community they will live in, as well as running the hydroponic and solar farming industries.
All this costs money to develop, but when you weigh up the cost of daily aid and support given by UN Agencies and hosting Governments to simply maintain daily existence without any realistic hope or promise of future development for them or their children as we have seen with Palestinian 4th generation refugees, then the cost is minimal and in reality it is 90% less than present aid and support systems.
Migration and refugee issues can slowly but surely be applied, if we change our strategy and look towards the expressed sustainable green solutions.
Migration is brought upon by a need to maintain and increase life chances, if such life chances are greatly increased by providing sustainable stability, then migration settles and re-settles.
It is without doubt that more research is required, however, it is also without doubt that sustainable green solutions do exist to help resolve the migration and refugee issues that we face globally.
Every migrant and refugee spoken to by URGC expresses the same needs and if such needs were to be available to them they will settle or return back home -
1. Need of regular food supply so that they can feed themselves and their children
2. Suitable accommodation they can call home and settle in
3. Schools for their children to attend
4. Higher education or vocational training centres adults/school levers can attend
5. Health centres
6. Jobs
7. Opportunity to build their own community and future
8. To be safe
All there needs are natural human requirements and expressed here as examples in the form of sustainable green development solutions which can be provided as a holistic package in each refugee camp and or re-settlement region.
