Adapting humanitarian action to climate change

March 2021 - June 2021

Groupe URD is coordinating the team commissioned by ALNAP to produce a new Lessons Paper on adapting humanitarian action to climate change. As the effects of climate change on the frequency and severity of different types of crisis has become clearer, this document will aim to help humanitarian actors to respond to these changes by sharing the main lessons from previous complex disasters related to the climate.

Groupe URD, AIDMI¹ and the CHC Initiative² have been commissioned to produce a new Lessons Paper for ALNAP on adapting humanitarian action to climate change. It will be based on a review of existing resources on the subject and a series of interviews to analyse specific points in greater depth.

ALNAP’s Lessons Papers aim to improve the performance of humanitarian action by summarising lessons from previous responses. These documents are aimed principally at agency and NGO staff who design and implement humanitarian responses.
