Minimum Environmental Requirements and Recommendation in Humanitarian Aid operations
2-days virtual classroom course to guide humanitarian organisations in applying the minimum environmental requirements and recommendations for DG ECHO funded projects
Course Description
This course aims to guide humanitarian organisations in applying the minimum environmental requirements and recommendations for DG ECHO funded projects. Through the course we will learn how to comply with the minimum environmental requirements when designing and implementing humanitarian responses and how to address measures to reduce the negative environmental impacts related to humanitarian actions at a project level. We will go through the guiding environmental principles, cross cutting and sector-specific requirements and test our knowledge with practical exercises, with the aim to see how to integrate the requirements in the e-Single Form at a proposal stage, as well as how to monitor and report on them during implementation.
