14/08/2014

This study, commissioned by the Joint UNEP/OCHA Environment Unit (JEU), with financial support from the Government of Finland, was the first part of a larger project that aimed both to evaluate the progress that had been made in terms of making humanitarian aid environmentally-friendly, and to make collective recommendations to improve the effectiveness, sustainability and accountability of humanitarian action. It looks at existing good practices and, based on broad consultation, outlines ways to move forward.
