Red Cross/Red Crescent

The Red Cross/ Red Crescent Climate Guide begins with the basics about climate change: the scientific consensus, the humanitarian consequences, and the general implications for the Red Cross and Red Crescent. This is followed by six thematic modules: Getting started, Dialogues, Communications, Disaster management, Community risk reduction and Health and Care. Each module begins with a background section with real-life Red Cross/Red Crescent experiences and perspectives, followed by a “how-to” section with specific step-by-step guidance.
