Detalhes do curso

The current climate and environmental crisis calls upon our collective responsibility to reduce the environmental footprint of human activity in general and, more specifically, humanitarian action.

DG ECHO has embarked on an environmental journey, aiming at supporting the implementation of a greener humanitarian response and reducing, as far as possible, the environmental and climate footprint of the humanitarian operations it funds.

It is organised into four stand-alone modules:

• Module 1: Why mainstream environmental issues?

• Module 2: Adopting an environmental approach to humanitarian programming

• Module 3: How to mainstream environmental issues in office management (in field and HQ)

• Module 4: The latest developments in EHA
