All dimensions of our lives are affected, from our physical and mental health to our food, water and economic security. While the crises are impacting everyone, those who have contributed least to the problem are hit hardest – and it is only getting worse.</p> <p>Our ability to protect the lives and the rights of present and future generations depends on whether we make the right choices now – to cut greenhouse gas emissions, halt biodiversity loss and environmental degradation, adapt to rising risks, and address loss and damage associated with the impacts of the crises. Radical transformation is urgently needed to prevent further death and suffering.</p> <p>As local, national and international humanitarian organizations, we are deeply worried about the scale of the crises and our capacity to respond to rising needs. We are determined to act. We have a responsibility to work together to reduce the impacts of the crises by accelerating our own action and mobilizing others to do the same.</p> <h3>Standing together as local, national and international humanitarian organizations, we commit to:</h3> <div class="accordion" id="accordionList"> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header" id="heading1"> <button class="accordion-button" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse1" aria-expanded="true" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="collapse1"> <span>1.</span> Step up our response to growing humanitarian needs and help people adapt to the impacts of the climate and environmental crises </button> </h2> <div id="collapse1" class="accordion-collapse collapse show" aria-labelledby="heading1" data-bs-parent="#accordionList"> <div class="accordion-body"> <p>We will reduce risks and vulnerability to shocks, stresses and longer-term changes through an increased focus on climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and anticipatory action. Across all of our work, including preparedness, response and recovery, we will consider and address changing climate and environmental risks in rural and urban settings. Our programmes and operations will be based on sound risk analyses, informed by the best available short-, medium- and longer-term climate and environmental science and data, and by local and indigenous knowledge.</p> <p>We will support those who are the most at risk, taking into account the influence that individual characteristics, such as gender, age and disability, structural inequity, legal status, and situations such as poverty, marginalization, displacement, migration, public health emergencies or armed conflict, have on people’s capacities and vulnerabilities.</p> <a class="btn" href="https://www.climate-charter.org/guidance/#commitment1"> View guidance for commitment 1 </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header" id="heading2"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse2" aria-expanded="false" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse2"> <span>2.</span> Maximize the environmental sustainability of our work and rapidly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions </button> </h2> <div id="collapse2" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="heading2" data-bs-parent="#accordionList"> <div class="accordion-body"> <p>In line with the principle of “do no harm”, we will avoid, minimize and manage the damage we cause to the environment and the climate, while maintaining our ability to provide timely and principled humanitarian assistance.

We will measure and significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, in line with global goals. Supporting high-quality emission reduction projects to offset unavoidable emissions, including through conservation and restoration of forests and land, will complement reduction efforts, but will not be considered a substitute for such efforts. We will responsibly manage and use natural resources, including water, and reduce and properly manage the waste generated in our premises and by our programmes.</p> <a class="btn" href="https://www.climate-charter.org/guidance/?commitment=2#commitment2"> View guidance for commitment 2 </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header" id="heading3"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse3" aria-expanded="false" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse3"> <span>3.</span> Embrace the leadership of local actors and communities </button> </h2> <div id="collapse3" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="heading3" data-bs-parent="#accordionList"> <div class="accordion-body"> <p>Our action will be guided by the leadership and experience of local actors and communities.

Targets may need to be reviewed on a regular basis, as our ambitions increase, and our knowledge and capacity develop.
