</div><div><p>  <br>
Humanitarian actors are committed to the principle of â€œdo no harmâ€. A 
growing body of work, by governments and humanitarian partners, has 
documented adverse environmental impacts that can result from 
well-intended, life-saving humanitarian action. These impacts can hamper
 the effectiveness of relief, recovery and sustainable development 
efforts and make them more costly. Agreement on the need to reduce these
 impacts is matched by recognition that no one organization can tackle 
this challenge alone.</p>

<p><br>
Humanitarian logistics sit at the nexus of those impacts, both as a 
potential source and as an opportunity to reduce them. Recent studies on
 environment in humanitarian action have consistently identified 
logistics as a stage of supply chain where the risk of unintended 
impacts is high and where there is a need to embed environmental 
expertise to identify scalable solutions. Progress in translating 
existing guidance into practical results on the ground is currently too 
slow to deliver the sustained and effective changes called for by the 
Sustainable Development Goals and global climate change initiatives.</p>

<p><br>
Coordinated by the Global Logistics Cluster and supported by a coalition
 of humanitarian organizations - the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), the 
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC),
 Save the Children International and the World Food Programme of the 
United Nations - this Environmental Sustainability in Global 
Humanitarian Logistics project, titled Waste management and measuring, 
Reverse logistics, Environmentally sustainable procurement and 
transport, and Circular economy (WREC), seeks to address priority gaps 
in knowledge and methodology, seeking solutions to environmental 
challenges, and to document existing activities to improve awareness and
 environmental sustainability in humanitarian operations. The proposal 
also seeks to provide operational answers to key concerns highlighted in
 the humanitarian logistics pillar of the September 2020 IFRC Climate 
Summit: the need to act together, to scale up from ad hoc to systematic 
action, and for solutions that can be localized.</p>

<p>A dedicated Project Team of six staff will be established for the 
Environmental Sustainability in Global Humanitarian Logistics project: 
one Project Manager and one Information Management/Reporting Officer in 
the Logistics Cluster and four Environmental Specialists who will be 
embedded within the coalition partners of the project. This position 
will be seconded to a coalition partner, to be determined upon selection
 of the candidate. The Project Team will work together towards a common 
goal: consolidate global good-practice guidance from diverse sources, 
adapt that guidance to the realities and processes of humanitarian 
logistics, and identify new and more sustainable solutions to improve 
coherence between the aims of humanitarian assistance and its ways of 
working.<br></p>
