Who, What, Where on Decarbonisation
Overview of what humanitarian organisations are doing to decarbonise their supply chains.
Best Practices on Environmental Sustainability Across the Humanitarian Supply Chain: The map highlights environmental sustainability initiatives across the supply chain implemented by humanitarian partners in various countries. These initiatives aim to inspire and guide other humanitarian actors in adopting similar practices. To contribute information or mapping from your country, or for any inquiries, please contact us.
Waste Management and Recycling Infrastructure by Country: The map shows the waste management and recycling infrastructure by country as identified by humanitarian partners (see User Guide). The objective is to support informed waste management decisions by the humanitarian community by providing information about available waste management and recycling infrastructure.
