The Climate and Environment Charter for Humanitarian Organizations

The Climate and Environment Charter for Humanitarian Organizations is a set of seven commitments designed to help organisations systematically respond to climate and environmental crises. The Charter was developed by humanitarian organizations for the humanitarian sector, and addresses the unique challenges and responsibilities of humanitarian action on climate and environment. The Charter has over 400 signatories, including local, national, and international non-governmental organizations and networks, national Red Cross Red Crescent societies, UN agencies, think tanks, academics and others working in the humanitarian sector. The Charter is also signed by thirteen supporters, representing member states and the European Union. The Charter Secretariat was established in May 2024 to serve as a referral hub to support and connect signatories in their efforts to implement the Charter commitments. The Secretariat is governed by a board of three permanent and two rotating members.
