Working together
The Climate Centre values its many partnerships. The Centre continues to work with many scientists and analysts worldwide, and has forged fruitful partnerships with many governments and agencies.
Partnerships
Here you will find an overview of Red Cross Societies and other organisations we work with as well as those who support us financially.
Young scholars
The Climate Centre has developed a systematic way to match humanitarian needs with students offering to help (always involving adequate supervision by faculty). About two dozen young scholars have already helped national societies and IFRC zonal and regional offices, and in the process they have fulfilled their academic requirements (masters thesis, internship, coursework, etc). At least five of these young scholars are now employed by various Red Cross / Red Crescent teams in three continents, demonstrating the value of nurturing a new generation of humanitarian practitioners well versed in climate issues. Examples of student work facilitated by the Climate Centre can be found here.

Disaster Management
Climate change can act as a catalyst for enhanced disaster management.
Health and Care
Many national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies will be touched by the health implications of climate change.
Early warning early action
Routinely taking humanitarian action before a disaster or health emergency happens, making full use of scientific information on all timescales.
Advocacy
The Red Cross and Red Crescent never works in isolation. Partnerships are more important than ever in the context of global warming.
Communications
The global climate is changing and the past no longer explains the present.
Community risk reduction
The Red Cross and Red Crescent has traditionally focused on response. But now other aspects, including risk reduction, are also given priority.
Youth
Red Cross Red Crescent youth take action to reduce the impacts of climate change.
Getting started
The Red Cross Red Crescent has a growing body of experience working on addressing climate change. Here’s how to use it to get started.
