1b. Climate and the Red Cross Red Crescent
The Red Cross Red Crescent is strongly committed to helping tackle climate change. This module explores the many different themes related to our climate change agenda, and the commitments made over the years by the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
Action on climate change should reach the most vulnerable, and we need to continue to raise our ambition for this agenda, together with governments, the private sector, scientists, civil society and others.
Highlights in this module are the PowerPoint slide-deck and many examples of National Societies which have already been working on the topic for more than a decade.
