Working With Nature to Protect People
This flagship report from the IFRC and WWF highlights how the power of nature to protect people is being overlooked. It shows how nature-based solutions can reduce the likelihood of climate change and weather-related events occurring. And how they can save lives by preventing exposure to these hazards and supporting vulnerable communities to adapt to and withstand the dangers of a warming world.
Key stats from the report:
Nature-based solutions could reduce the intensity of climate and weather-related hazards by 26%
Nature-based solutions could provide developing countries with valuable protection against the economic cost of climate change, saving at least US$104 billion in 2030 and US$ 393 billion in 2050
Over 3.3 billion people live in places that are highly vulnerable to climate change
From 2010 to 2019 alone, sudden-onset climate change and weather-related disasters killed more than 410,000 people

Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability - Survey Report
This report presents findings and analysis from a climate action and environmental sustainability survey conducted with 67 Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in 2021.
The survey sought to understand National Societies' priorities on climate action and environmental sustainability, and how these are connected to strategic documents of the IFRC and our wider Movement (such as our Movement Ambitions to Address the Climate Crisis and the Climate and Environment Charter for Humanitarian Organizations). It also aimed to explore National Societies' perceived capacities and needs to deliver on the climate-related ambitions set out in these strategic documents.
Overall, the report provides baseline information on the current priorities of National Societies in scaling up climate action, as well as their current level of capacity and engagement in working on climate change.
COVID-19 in the Americas: Listening to the most vulnerable
This research report offers community perceptions of COVID-19 from migrants, refugees, host communities and indigenous populations in nine countries in the Americas: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago.
It reveals the myriad impacts that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations. And it offers hands-on recommendations around the impact and usefulness of health information; trust, awareness and access to vaccines; and the socio-economic impact of the pandemic.
The summary and full report are available to download below.
You can delve into these research findings in this interactive data story on our emergency operations data platform, IFRC GO.

ESSN Post Distribution Monitoring Survey, Round 11
This report offers findings from Post Distribution Monitoring surveys conducted by the Turkish Red Crescent and IFRC as part of the Emergency Social Safety Net(ESSN) programme, funded by the European Union. This round of surveys was conducted between November 2020 and January 2021 to understand the impact of the ESSN on helping families meet their basic needs and cope with economic shocks, such as COVID-19.
ESSN Intersectoral Vulnerability Study
The Turkish Red Crescent and IFRC conducted a large-scale remote study as part of the Emergency Social Safety Net programme, funded by the European Union, to understand the severity of humanitarian conditions across different refugee groups in Türkiye.
The study ran from August 2020 to February 2021 and found that the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 have significantly eroded the ability of refugees to meet their basic needs. And while cash assistance has provided refugees with an important financial buffer, people are still resorting to negative coping strategies to get by.

Please note this report was produced prior to the Republic ofTürkiye changing its name, and therefore refers to 'Turkey' throughout.
