Humanitarian action is part of climate response – but must be early and locally led

A new funding mechanism helps humanitarians scale up local efforts and proactively address climate risks

IIED annual review

A year of change

Our annual review reflects on the extraordinary changes brought by the pandemic and captures some of the year's key themes.

In eight four-minute videos, recorded remotely from around the world, our researchers and partners tell the story of how they continued to work together for a better future for all.

We demonstrated that international investment treaties can make it more expensive for countries to take urgent climate action. This video is part of a series produced for IIED’s 2020 annual review.
