Environment and Emergencies

The intersection of environmental concerns and humanitarian action has never been more critical. With 80% of today’s humanitarian crises being influenced by environmental factors, this thematic page on Environment and Emergencies aims to bridge the gap between these interconnected domains. This resource will empower responders with essential knowledge and tools across the prevention, preparedness, and response stages of environmental emergencies, ensuring that interventions not only address immediate needs but also mitigate environmental risks and promote long-term resilience. By integrating environmental considerations into humanitarian operations, this initiative underscores the importance of safeguarding natural resources, reducing ecological footprints, and fostering sustainable solutions that protect both people and the planet.
