Ukraine Series: Linking Humanitarian Mine Action and Environmental Issues 03/22/2024

During Ukraine Series: Humanitarian Mine Action and Environmental Issues, learn how Humanitarian Mine Action should be linked with environmental issues. The well-established concept of "do no harm" is a framework that is commonly applied in the broader humanitarian sector, and has been put forward as directly applicable to environmental concerns within mine action. The concept broadly reflects current approaches of mine action organizations to mitigate and minimize direct (negative) environmental impacts of mine clearance operations, such as emissions, erosion, residual waste, and harm to wildlife and vegetation. Attendees will also learn how they can support humanitarian demining and ecological restoration efforts in Ukraine.
