Addressing the humanitarian consequences of climate change: Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre annual report 2006
The general objective of the Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre is to reduce the vulnerability of people to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events. To achieve this, the Climate Centre has developed a comprehensive approach. It combines raising awareness on the humanitarian consequences of climate change, advocating and initiating climate risk reduction measures, analyzing lessons learned and collecting and sharing best practices. Using this approach, the Climate Centre works both within the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and outside of it.
