Lift-off for the Climate Action Accelerator.
The Geneva-based initiative will help humanitarian organisations to halve their carbon footprint by 2030. Its director and founder, Bruno Jochum, emphasised humanitarian organisations’ power to “trigger a domino effect” and lead by example (even considering that their footprint is not the largest). The accelerator also publishes tools and materials on its website to make it easier for any organisation to follow suit.
