Description
The climate crisis is no longer a single challenge among others; it’s now the predominant context within which humanitarian actors operate. Together, we will thoroughly converse on the critical need for an integrated, ethical shift in humanitarian response that encompasses nature integration and new operational principles such as anticipation, adaptation and mitigation.
Experts from humanitarian and environmental fields will discuss how humanitarian assistances adapting to meet the multifaceted demands of humanitarian crises amidst impacts from climate change, and where we need to go from here.
Transforming humanitarian assistance to be locally led, nature-positive and climate-smart, requires upgrading humanitarian standards and enlightening organizational and operational norms and behaviours, to value biodiversity and nature as the foundation for achieving and protecting humanitarian and development outcomes. Panellists will facilitate a critical discussion challenging participants to reimagine humanitarian assistance and their respective roles, to enable this transformation.
