New DG ECHO voluntary environmental indicators have been published in December 2023, aiming to facilitate the integration of the DG ECHO Minimum Environmental Recommendations and Requirements (MERs) in project proposals. The ECHO MERs include recommendations and requirements by sector (i.e., WASH, Health, Camp Management, etc.) as well as cross-cutting themes such as Supply Chain and Logistics. The MERs and the associated (voluntary) indicators for the minimum environmental requirements are expected to be addressed in any proposals submitted to DG ECHO for funds. The aim of the (voluntary) indicators for the minimum environmental requirements is to facilitate the integration of the MERs into project proposals.
