Nature Supporting the Humanitarian Agenda: Reversing Nature Loss and Building Climate Resilience for Most Vulnerable in Crisis Contexts

The COVID19 crisis has brought to focus the urgent need to fix our unbalanced relationship with nature. It has demonstrated how environmental protection intrinsically connects to avoiding and mitigating the impacts of humanitarian crises.

Join WWF International, IRC, UNEP/OCHA, ICRC, IFRC and CARE at a high-level webinar on nature and humanitarian agenda to find out:

· What impacts climate change, environmental crisis and conflicts have on peoples’ lives
· Why we must act now to simultaneously protect the environment and reduce the risks of humanitarian crises that further exacerbate inequalities and conflicts
· The value of nature-based approaches to reduce climate risks and build community resilience

Following the high-level welcome remarks and the technical panel discussion, participants will hear from WHO experts on the links between nature, health and humanitarian work, especially in the COVID19 context.
