Building on the outcomes of a HNPW 2021 session hosted by the FEBA-PEDRR-EHAN Working Group on NbS in Humanitarian Contexts and its key messages document published in November 2021, this session will highlight the importance of nature-based solutions in humanitarian contexts. The session will centre on the working group's efforts to transform humanitarian action through the integration of nature-based solutions and environmental considerations as a key component and strategy for achieving humanitarian objectives. It will discuss the development of technical guidance on NbS in humanitarian contexts, including as part of the Sphere Handbook and standards.
