The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)’s Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) is the fastest, most cost-effective and transparent way of getting funding directly to local humanitarian actors—both before and immediately after a crisis.

While everyone is aware of big disasters that hit the headlines, the real, silent impact of climate change is seen in the rapidly rising tide of small and medium size climate-related disasters that are supported by DREF.
