REH: an amended version of the Statement of Commitment on Climate

After five years of implementation, the REH wanted to strengthen the consideration of climate justice, move away from an approach focused solely on carbon, and adopt a more holistic view of environmental issues. The new Statement of Commitment on Climate and the Environment by Organisations engaged in International Solidarity thus aims for commitments that are more equitable, better contextualized, and consistent with the operational realities of the sector.
