<div><span style="font-size:small"><font face="Arial" color="#333333">Hundreds of thousands of people have fled Ukraine so far, and the United Nations expects more than 4 million others will leave the country and need protection and assistance in the coming months. Those fleeing to neighbouring countries, mostly women and children, have been met with an impressive voluntary and government mobilisation to answer immediate needs.<br>
<br>
Similarly, European Union (EU) policymakers are organising an unprecedented response, including considering the first-ever activation of the Temporary Protection Directive that would provide immediate protection and rights, reduce pressures on national asylum systems, and enhance responsibility sharing. Questions remain, however, about how the directive would work in practise and how quickly it could be rolled out, in particular as European asylum agencies and migration authorities face a range of operational issues for the first time. They will need to set up a new process to register people, but also organise which agencies (including EU ones) and which funding mechanisms will be mobilised to ensure adequate reception and emergency assistance.<br>
<br>
In the medium term, populations fleeing Ukraine will need access to affordable housing, education, the labour market, and health care. How can European countries with tight housing markets and overburdened health-care systems, yet simultaneously pressing labour shortages, plan for the more medium- and long-term needs of those displaced by the war? And how can Ukrainian diasporas be mobilised effectively in the response without being overburdened with untenable demands?<br>
<br>
This MPI Europe webinar will feature expert views on the possible implementation of the Temporary Protection Directive, prospects for the integration of displaced populations, and lessons from the 2015-2016 refugee crisis that could apply in the current context.</font></span></div>
