The Humanitarian Networks and Partnership Week

HNPW provides a unique forum for humanitarian networks and partnerships to meet and address key humanitarian issues. In its latest edition, which took place in Geneva and online from 29 April to 10 May 2024, more than 7,800 registered participants from the United Nations (UN), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), Member States, the private sector, the military, academia and beyond gathered to discuss and solve common challenges in humanitarian affairs.

Against this backdrop, adelphi and the United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC) organised a face-to-face workshop, with special participation of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), to provide a space for discussion and exchange among practitioners, researchers and donors working at the intersection of climate, peace and security on how to enhance understanding of climate and environmental risks, and integrate them into humanitarian responses and efforts towards increased resilience, conflict prevention and sustaining peace.

This description was adapted from the HNPW practical note, which captures key takeaways from the workshop.
