Since its launch in May 2021 the Climate Charter has been signed by more than 200 organisations – including several members of the Strategic Advisory Group of the Global Shelter Cluster. But is the shelter sector ready to be part of the solution? Do we have the capacity to respond to rising humanitarian needs while reducing vulnerability to longer-term shocks and stresses? Do we have the skills to understand and incorporate risk analyses into our programmes, alongside local and indigenous knowledge? How can we minimise the damage we cause to the environment while providing timely and principled humanitarian assistance?
