EU2024BE | European Humanitarian Forum 2024 - TRAILER

The European Humanitarian Forum (EHF24), co-organised by the European Commission (DG ECHO) and Belgium in the framework of its Presidency of the Council of the EU, will focus on the increasing humanitarian funding gap and forgotten crises around the world.
The European Humanitarian Forum (EHF24) takes place in the context of sharply increasing global humanitarian needs, at a time of shrinking humanitarian space, increasingly complex and protracted conflicts, the politicisation of aid, and increasing vulnerabilities due to climate change.
Global humanitarian needs have reached unprecedented levels, with nearly 300 million people around the world.
Following the success of the first two editions of the European Humanitarian Forum in March 2022 and 2023, the third edition will continue to look at humanitarian aid in a wider, cross-sectoral context. The Forum will address the implications of the current, most pressing humanitarian crises, including relevant interaction of humanitarian aid with other key sectors and policy areas. Additionally, the Forum will bring together local actors, with the objective of jointly suggesting innovative, more sustainable solutions to contemporary humanitarian challenges.
The Forum will feature a ministerial-level pledging session as well as high-level panels on key topics and challenges that the humanitarian system faces. Moreover, space will be given to Humanitarian Talks, proposed and led by partner organisations and humanitarian stakeholders.
