Launch event – Matrix of environmental risk analysis and mitigation measures (MERA), REH Environmental Assessments WG, 30/10/2024

The REH Environmental Assessments Working Group has developed the MERA (Multi-sectoral Environmental Risks Analysis) matrix to help humanitarian and development project developers and technical advisers to become aware of the environmental risks that the projects they are developing may entail, and to rapidly formulate recommendations to mitigate these risks. The matrix provides a non-exhaustive database of mitigation measures for each environmental risk associated with activities in the Food Security & Livelihoods, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, Shelter and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support sectors. The matrix will be available on the REH website from October 30th in English, French and Spanish.

The WG invites you to the launch event for the first version of the matrix on October 30th at 11am! Other launch sessions will be held in French and Spanish over the coming months.

Date : October 30th, 2024
Time : 11AM-11:45AM CET
