Synopsis (short abstract) The scale and protracted nature of displacement today highlights more than ever the need to integrate environmental preparedness and response in humanitarian interventions. Addressing the environmental impacts of forced displacement and related risks is essential with environmental protection being a necessary pre-condition of human protection. Over past years, FAO has worked with partners to alleviate environmental pressures and facilitate energy access for both host and displaced communities. Funded by DG ECHO, this initiative adopts a multidisciplinary approach that combines emergency assistance with longterm resilience and development efforts towards the sustainable management of forests and ecosystem restoration, enhancing livelihood resilience, energy access, nutrition and food security in displacement settings. Conceived as a pilot with global level action and country activities in Djibouti, Somalia, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, greening the humanitarian response in displacement settings represents a further opportunity for bridging and maximizing positive effects along the humanitarian–development–peace nexus.

    Honduras is experiencing a multifaceted crisis, mainly due to widespread violence, climate extremes and forced population movements. These shocks are disrupting vulnerable communities’ ability to produce food, particularly in drought-prone regions and in transit areas with limited resources, generating tensions between host families and displaced people. With 19 percent of the population analysed projected to be acutely food insecure, providing time-sensitive agricultural support to vulnerable households helps them to restore their livelihood and increase their self-reliance.

    This document provides an overview of FAO's component of the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan for Mozambique. Climate shocks and conflict in northern Mozambique continue to exacerbate the food insecurity situation. The influx of internally displaced people since the onset of the conflict has placed particular pressure on host communities, increasing competition over scarce resources and worsening living conditions among vulnerable groups. With over 80 percent of the population relying on agricultural livelihoods for food and income, substantial support to the sector is critical. This includes protecting livestock assets that provide nutrition to families daily. USD 5 to treat and vaccinate a goat, protects an asset worth USD 75 that provides a child with two glasses of milk a day.

    SPIAC-B calls on international humanitarian and development actors to actively collaborate in aligning their support to national social protection systems of both countries of origin and countries hosting the forcibly displaced, ensuring the efficient delivery of humanitarian in-kind and cash assistance when government systems and their shockresponsive capacities are surpassed whilst also foreseeing opportunities for this assistance to strengthen government response capacity. This alignment ensures that no-one is left behind and is in line with the principles of the Grand Bargain and the Global Compact on Refugees.
