The voices and the needs of these at-risk com-
munities are amplified by the IFRC in through
humanitarian diplomacy
, which the IFRC
defines as the collective responsibility to per-
suade “decision makers and opinion leaders to
act,
at all times, in the interests of vulnerable
people, and with full respect for fundamental
humanitarian principles”. This work continued in
2022 with a number of initiatives and successes
in high-level advocacy.
The IFRC brought a distinctive message on the
climate crisis and disaster
risk reduction to the
Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction (May
2022), the Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference
on DRR (September), and the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change COP (November)
and continued to be a leading voice on climate
advocacy.
In the area of disaster law, the IFRC continued to
support National Societies around the world to
advise their authorities on effective disaster risk
management laws.
The IFRC’s humanitarian diplomacy around
access to health for
communities focused on
raising awareness of the need for equitable
access to all health services, guiding
principles
for more inclusive and effective regional and
domestic legal frameworks, and the critical
roles of local actors and communities in the
prevention and response to pandemics. These
messages were developed
and expanded in the
2022 edition of the IFRC’s
World Disasters Report.
In 2022, the IFRC continued to co-convene the
Grand Bargain Localization Workstream together
with Denmark (formally replacing Switzerland in
May) and coordinated the various Workstream
initiatives focusing on country-level engagement,
funding, partnership with intermediaries, and
capacity strengthening.
Accountability
is a fundamental aspect of
our relationship with the communities the
IFRC
works alongside, with donors and other
