A data-driven study of the environmental performance of CSB++, December 2022

Published on 1 December 2022

Humanitarian organisations are increasingly responding to disasters resulting from (or exacerbated by) global warming and environmental degradation. Yet, through their operations, humanitarian organisations also unintentionally harm the environment and do contribute to the climate and environmental crises. Following the “do no harm” principle, humanitarian actors must take action to mitigate their environmental footprint. At the same time, many humanitarian organisations also prioritize local procurement over global procurement to stimulate local economies. Is local procurement compatible with sustainable procurement? Should humanitarian organisations purchase locally for environmental reasons? We address this question with help of one case study
