Panel sessions
The EHF 2024 panel sessions will consist of moderated discussions among the wider humanitarian- development community, including EU institutions, EU Member States, third countries, partner organisations, local humanitarian actors, UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent family and academics.
Humanitarian Talks
Humanitarian Talks provide a space for discussion running in parallel with the EHF panels and an opportunity for focused exchange on concrete deliverables as well as on more specific humanitarian issues and crises that will not be addressed in the EHF24 panel sessions.
Humanitarian Talks complement the EHF programme with hands-on discussions, which reinforce the
“concrete delivery” aspect of the Forum. Proposed and led by partners and Member States, they offer an
alternative platform for humanitarian stakeholders to contribute and thematically complement the core
agenda of the event.
The Talks will showcase initiatives and discussions driven by partners, Member States and practitioners.
Recorded Humanitarian Talk, Organised by : Plan International
It has been widely accepted that that the involvement of development actors is essential to scale up anticipatory action, as stated also in the ‘Getting Ahead of Disasters: A Charter on Finance for Managing Risks’ that was endorsed by 39 countries and organisations at COP28. However, the Anticipatory Action discourse has stayed mostly within the humanitarian realm, and there is so far little clarity on what role could development actors play. This session will seek to open the dialogue and identify what role each of these actors can play and how coordination can be ensured across the nexus.
The session will be moderated by Emma Flaherty.
