➡️The people directly impacted by the worst of climate change in places like the Philippines, Afghanistan, and Ethiopia, must have a voice and a value in climate discussions. They know what the issues are; they know how to solve them; they need our support.

Julian is driving home two clear messages:

➡️We, in the EU, have a responsibility to help protect societies imperilled by the impacts of climate change driven by industrialised, wealthy nations.

Julian reminds us that we, in more wealthy countries, contribute more to climate change and suffer fewer consequences. By contrast, people living in places such as the Philippines suffer the brunt of climate change, whilst contributing the least to its causes.

Additionally, thanks to ECHO Asia, we provide psychosocial and water, sanitation & hygiene support to help children rebuild confidence, heal from trauma, and learn in safe, supportive environments. Read the article.

Crucially, most IDPs are located in eastern regions near the front line (like Dnipro/Kharkiv), not the safer west. They need urgent support for employment, affordable housing, and humanitarian aid.

📉💶This displacement brings severe poverty. Only 67% of IDPs have a job, and 67% must pay high rent in private accommodation. The reality is dire: 1 in 10 IDPs has had to sell their actual home to cover basic living expenses.

Based on the identified needs, we will release up to €80,000 from our Club of Friends to mitigate the effects of disasters that have recently struck the Philippines. And we will continue to monitor the situation and stand ready to support the people of the Philippines in the coming days.

Our colleagues are conducting data collection and needs assessments in the hardest-hit areas in Cebu and Negros Occidental. Findings from these assessments will help guide response efforts to address the most urgent needs.

We continue to coordinate with local authorities and humanitarian partners to support affected communities.
Our teams were deployed immediately after the typhoon exited the Philippines on November 6.

🛠️In the field of anticipatory action, our goal is to enable early actions based on forecasted impacts and hazard triggers. We want to enable communities to act before disasters strike to reduce losses and protect lives, livelihoods, and dignity.

Our team at PIN Nepal is contributing ground-level evidence and learning from its UK International Development-funded RAIN & EU-funded Pratibaddha initiatives. PIN Nepal’s experiences highlight key challenges, lessons and opportunities to make early action practical, context-specific, & effective.

💪🏽Nepal is establishing a national framework for anticipatory action, led by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA).

They underlined the need for broad stakeholder engagement from federal, provincial and local governments to at-risk communities themselves. Our philosophy ensures that action is timely, inclusive, and locally led, thereby enhancing our effectiveness.
