When is world humanitarian day

TheHumanRace A global challenge for climate action in solidarity with people who need it the most. The climate emergency is wreaking havoc across the world at a scale that the humanitarian community and people at the front lines cannot manage. In the week of World Humanitarian Day, August 19, to get the world racing against the climate crisis clock, we will stage a global race challenge like no other. Whether participants run, roll, ride, walk, swim, kick or hit a ball, each action will count towards helping us carry our message to world leaders when they meet at the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in November.

The Connecting Business initiative CBi was created to support businesses before, during, and after disasters.

CBi's partner in the country, the Private Sector Humanitarian Platform PSHP Madagascar , is involved in the national emergency response and supports the distribution of food aid and other emergency assistance to affected communities. The network also works with local partners on adaptation projects to support community resilience, for example through improved water supply.

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and the Asia-Pacific region is one of the world's most affected. Email Address.
