CVA, environment and climate change workshop

We come together to take a deeper look at CVA in relation to the environmental crisis. We look at the potential CVA has as a force for good, what more we can do to integrate environmental thinking into its use and how the wider CVA policy framework could better include environmental considerations.

5 December-22 November 2022
12:00-0:00

How can Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) be used as part of the response to the environment and climate crisis? How can we mainstream considerations around the environment and climate change in the use of CVA within humanitarian responses? Is policy and operational engagement from CVA humanitarian stakeholders contributing to the fight against climate change and environmental degradation?
