3 Environmental Emergencies An environmental emergency is defined as a sudden onset disaster or accident resulting from natural, technological or human-induced factors, or a combination of these, that cause or threaten to cause severe environmental damage as well as harm to human health and/or livelihoods.

21
22 Context It is also increasingly recognised that environment is: > critical for aid effectiveness > central to reducing risk and vulnerability > vital to the necessary shift towards an anticipatory riskmanagement approach to humanitarian aid

24 Environment and Humanitarian Action: Study Commissioned by the JEU and Finland to review the current state and provide a road map for future action Based on a review of literature and consultations with governments, UN, NGOs, field practitioners and key stakeholders Recommend collective action to improve the effectiveness, accountability and sustainability of humanitarian action Conclusions and recommendations for the humanitarian system, implementing partners and the donor community
25 Environment and Humanitarian Action Study Main Conclusions and Recommandations 1. Environment is still not systematically mainstreamed in global humanitarian action, despite being critical for effective, sustainable and accountable humanitarian response. Recommendations: address the lack of leadership & accountability increase the political commitment & resources
26 Environment and Humanitarian Action Study Main Conclusions and Recommandations 2. Mainstreaming the environment is an approach that needs to be translated into clearly defined actions to achieve this vision, both at policy and field level. Recommendations: Priority country analyses Bolster existing mechanisms Mainstream in every stage of the Humanitarian Programme Cycle
27 Humanitarian Programme Cycle
28 Environment and Humanitarian Action Study Main Conclusions and Recommandations 3. There is a need for a strong evidence-base of the benefits of mainstreaming environment Document detailed case studies to provide evidence of what has and has not worked effectively Adopt and execute strong advocacy strategies targeted at humanitarian practitioners
29 Environment and Humanitarian Action Study Main Conclusions and Recommandations 4. There is a chronic lack of funding for environment in humanitarian action, despite good humanitarian donorship being critical for future fit humanitarian action Donors should: Develop environmental mainstreaming policy for humanitarian aid Integrate environmental mainstreaming while analysing programme proposals & make the consideration of environmental impacts explicit in decisions Commit to longer-term funding
