World Disasters Report 2018
In recent years, Governments and aid organisations have made various commitments about ensuring that the world’s most vulnerable people are not “left behind”.
But those commitments are not being reached. We estimate in the 2018 World Disasters Report that millions of people living in crisis are not receiving the humanitarian assistance they desperately need.
The report identifies five mistakes that can lead to international humanitarian actors inadvertently leaving people behind. It also includes clear and compelling recommendations to overcome these structural problems.
Contingency planning guide
This guide, and accompanying practical tools, provide an overview of the key elements of contingency planning. They aimed at assisting National Societies, IFRC staff and partners who are responsible for developing contingency plans at the local, national, regional or global levels.
Environment Policy
Humanitarian efforts can have negative impacts on the environment, harming the people they are intended to help and underminingpeople's resilience. Local environmental degradation can increase the vulnerability of communities to disasters and the impacts of climate change and have other negative effects on affected communities (including on health and livelihoods).
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that IFRC Secretariat:
expands its commitment to a “do no harm” approach to the protection of the environment;
strives to fulfil its environmental obligations; establishes and meets its environmental goals and objectives;
and commits to continual improvement of its environmental performance.
It may also be useful as a reference for National Societies in their environmental policy development.
