The REH Environmental Assessment Working Group, with the support of Groupe URD, organised a public webinar, focusing on rapid environmental screening tools in international aid.
As intervention contexts are increasingly marked by climate risks and environmental degradation, how can field teams practically integrate these issues into their projects?
Presentations:
Results of the MERA pilot project in Burkina Faso
The REH Environmental Assessments Working Group and Stéphane Soubeaga from the TinTua Association presented the lessons learned from the pilot project carried out with 13 international and national NGOs in Burkina Faso: how was MERA used in the field? What does a comparison with NEAT+ tell us? What recommendations are there for the future?
Strengthening the capacities of local humanitarian actors
Faissal Ouedraogo (NRC) provided a progress update on the Environmental and Climate Mainstreaming in Humanitarian Action project, led by NRC, DRC and the Swedish Red Cross, targeting nearly 1,500 local humanitarian actors in 21 countries.
The future of NEAT+: how should we respond to the threats facing this tool?
Carina Rolly reviewed the joint position paper Save Our NEAT+, which calls on donors and decision-makers to ensure the sustainability of this essential tool, and future prospects. Finally, Erika Clesceri, Co-Founder of the Joint Initiative for Greener Humanitarian Assistance, spoke.
