Putting People First: Humanitarian Diplomacy in a Challenging World

This high-level session will present the latest trends, analyses, challenges and opportunities in humanitarian action, and overview of the coordinated humanitarian system plans in 2024. Despite the generosity of donors and partners, the gap between needs and resources continues to grow. A distinguished interactive panel will discuss how the international community can better address the challenges of the future; respond to growing humanitarian needs in a manner appropriate to local populations and communities in response to increasing conflicts, natural disasters, and the growing impact of climate change that is displacing millions of people across the world; and deepen partnerships with a diverse set of actors to strengthen humanitarian diplomacy and advocacy for better access and protection to people most affected.
