National Society Development (NSD) policy
Strong, independent, self-sustained, well-functioning and trusted National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (National Societies) are key to providing life-saving humanitarian action and supporting community resilience and local development to achieve the ambitions outlined in Strategy 2030.
This policy reaffirms the IFRC's commitment to continuous National Society development (NSD)and defines its focus and key principles. Furthermore, the policy sets clear rules for all NSD support within the IFRC network, provides the framework for the support by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and inspires and guides the governments and other organizations that engage with the IFRC network on NSD.
This policy encompasses the policy level commitments from the National Society Development Framework (2013) as well as the National Society Development Compact (2019), which both provide further guidance on practical aspects of NSD and NSD support.

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.
