| Description
|
Action pledge 6
Humanitarian assistance or humanitarian aid is essential in order to reduce suffering in crises and catastrophes and recovery processes. Climate change also affects the work of humanitarian aid agencies in various ways. Humanitarian aid will be challenged and might face a new dimension owing to climate change, particularly if weather related hazards, in combination with the vulnerability of societies or communities, trigger a higher frequency of medium- and small-scale disasters. |
