The REH Forum focused on “Preserving biodiversity and ecosystems, a blind spot in the ecological transition of international aid?”
On the agenda:
- Introduction to ecology, with Sandra Lavorel, ecologist, CNRS Gold Medal 2023
- How can we work on ecosystems and biodiversity in development aid? with Jean-Noël Roulleau, AFD biodiversity expert
- An ecologist’s view of a humanitarian NGO, with Chloé Orland, ecologist at ACF
- Discussion on how humanitarian/development NGOs and environmental NGOs can work together, coordinated by Anna Lafranchi, Partnership Manager at Planète Urgence
We discussed this hidden face of the ecological transition of organisations, which often focuses more on reducing the carbon footprint! We looked at how to tackle the challenges of preserving biodiversity and ecosystems when working in a humanitarian or development NGO!
