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
Climate change is an existential challenge for all of humanity, but its effects are felt most acutely in countries and regions already impacted by conflict and fragility. At the same time, climate action and climate finance are insufficiently reaching fragile and conflict-affected countries.
This session will lay out what the main barriers are to accessing climate finance for the most climate-vulnerable countries and communities, focusing on those affected by violence and conflict. It will build upon past discussions, delving deeper into the issues and discuss ways to concretely overcome them, with representatives from development actors, the private sector and non-government organisations.
The session is moderated by Catherine-Lune Grayson.
