The humanitarian community has long recognised the need to update its approach to logistics to support a more efficient and effective delivery of aid, and to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental damage of aid delivery, in line with the Do No Harm principle.

It should foster a discussion on the interest for donors to invest on logistics, the best practices and potential ways forward to enhance a paradigm shift in the sector.
