RepR was present in Sendai, Cancun and Geneva, and some of its members have been present at different climate summits since COP 21. It will be present in Bali to promote a certain number of issues. RepR members have been involved in the development of an NGO charter on environmental issues in France and in Europe. They have also been very active, with other French NGOs, in a working group with French ministries to prepare the Humanitarian Aid Donors’ Declaration on Climate and Environment. The latter was endorsed by the 27 Member States of the European Union at the 1st European Humanitarian Forum held in Brussels on 21-23 March 2022.

REPR at the 7th Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in bali

Having previously taken part in the conferences in Sendai and Cancun, with their declarations on disaster preparedness and in favour of action at the community level (Community-based Disaster Risk Management), this year RepR will be promoting the efforts that have been made in France and Europe to mobilise the sector on climatic and environmental issues: reducing the environmental impact of aid and preparing for the environmental and climatic crises that are increasingly threatening our planet, and particularly the most vulnerable populations.

At the same time, RepR’s members continue to focus on multi-risk approaches, due to the increasing number of earthquakes (Haiti, China, Japan, etc.) and technological disasters (such as the explosion in the Port of Beirut), and continue to take action on these different aspects of Disaster Risk Management.
