In recent years, the nexus between the environment and humanitarian action has become increasingly significant. Environmental degradation and climate change can exacerbate humanitarian crises, while humanitarian actions can have substantial environmental impacts. Climate change, in particular, is intensifying natural disasters, displacing communities, and straining resources. Integrating environmental and climate considerations into humanitarian efforts is crucial for ensuring that these actions are sustainable and do not inadvertently harm the very communities they aim to support. This approach, known as Environment in Humanitarian Action (EHA), is essential for creating more effective and resilient responses to crises.
The “Localisation of Environment in Humanitarian Action” project aims to enhance the capacity of local actors in integrating environmental considerations into humanitarian actions. Utilizing the curriculum from the JEU’s existing online course “Environment in Humanitarian Action (EHA),” the project will update and adapt the content to reflect the latest knowledge and developments. The training will be tailored to the specific contexts and needs of two selected countries. The updated EHA training will be extended into a comprehensive 5 to 7-day program, followed by a 2-day Training of Trainers (ToT) session.
