Climate change is not only a threat to the future of our planet, it is already driving humanitarian crises around the world. We are calling for urgent action to save lives now and in the years to come.
Urgent steps are needed both to reduce the increasing warming of our atmosphere and to better tackle the increasing risks from extreme events that this warming is already producing.
Ensure focus on the most vulnerable people and settings in climate adaptation, so that they are reached, informed and included in local decisions and plans, and their needs met
Increase finance for locally-led adaptation and resilience, striking the agreed balance with mitigation, and local actors’ access to climate finance
Promote coherence across humanitarian, development, environment and climate approaches by integrating risk management to build climate resilience, strengthening disaster and climate law and policy and translating global commitments to local levels
Enable more anticipatory and early action to reduce the impacts of rapid and slow onset climate shocks and stressors
Promote environmental sustainability within the humanitarian sector by protecting the environment and reducing emissions from humanitarian operations
Community level climate change adaptation programme
Awareness of early warning system to community
Integrated Climate Change Adaptation programme for stakeholders
