The UN Secretary-General will convene a global humanitarian summit to map out a new humanitarian approach that is more effective and inclusive, and more representative of the needs and challenges of our rapidly changing world.
The UN General Assembly established the current international humanitarian system 25 years ago. But since then, the landscape of humanitarian action has changed significantly. Trends such as climate change, rapid population growth, and shifting political and ideological approaches are increasing the demand for humanitarian action. Therefore, a more efficient and effective humanitarian approach is needed.
