World Humanitarian Day

World Humanitarian Day

“The climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win.” – United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.

World Humanitarian Day is commemorated every year on 19 August to pay tribute to humanitarian workers killed and injured in the course of their work.  It is also an opportunity to celebrate the selfless commitment of humanitarian and medical workers who work everyday to alleviate the sufferings of the most vulnerable around the world.

Each year the UN focuses on a theme, many are aware that 2020’s theme was based upon the Covid-19 Pandemic which was to honour the front-line key workers. This year (2021) is about the #TheHumanRace. The campaign is to raise awareness on Climate Change and understand its effects on health. It will facilitate changes in behaviours and societal support in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

So far in 2021, we have seen how natural disasters are going to an extent the public have not known before. Floodings, wildfires, heatwaves and earthquakes are just a few examples of the devastation populations are experiencing everywhere on planet earth. The amount of waste/pollution is also affecting the world… Therefore, it is important that we take this into consideration and stand in solidarity with those who live in conflicted areas and have no access to resources.
