This webinar will provide hands-on guidance to support practitioners for transitioning to renewable energy sources for facilities and community services (pumping, health centers). The first presentation will provide an overview of the key steps for conducting an energy audit (eg. load assessment, system design, analysis..) along with developing a value proposition for decarbonisation. The second presentation will focus on powering healthcare using HOMER tool. This webinar is part of the three-part series, Decarbonisation of Energy Infrastructure in Displacement Situations and is organised jointly by ICRC, UNITAR and Energypedia. The webinar series aims to share knowledge and good practices as well as technical tools on how to switch to renewable powered energy solutions in humanitarian settings.

Webinar Series Sustainable Energy in Humanitarian Settings

Humanitarian Energy Webinar2.jpg

Today, over 130 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance due to conflict, natural disasters, and other complex global challenges. For many of these people, access to energy sources is critical for survival, and how they access it impacts their health, livelihoods, safety, and well-being.

Energy access for displaced people is not prioritized in the global humanitarian system. Current energy practices in situations of displacement are often inefficient, polluting, unsafe for users, and harmful to the surrounding environment. Moreover, institutional humanitarian operations such as water pumping, community lighting, and health clinics rely heavily on unsustainable fossil fuels, costing hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Given the complex nature of humanitarian response and the challenges of integrating sustainable energy solutions into the humanitarian program cycle, there is not just one solution but a need for systemic actions to mobilise resources, build capacity and use the opportunity for sustainable energy solutions to enhance impact in sectors such as health, protection, food security, and WASH. read more

Against this background, key actors involved in displacement settings developed in 2018 the Global Plan of Action for Sustainable Energy Solutions in Situations of Displacement (GPA). It’s mission is to equip stakeholders with the capacity to mainstream sustainable energy solutions into programming, with the goal of delivering improved protection, dignity, and energy-related social, environmental, and economic benefits to displaced people.

As part of the outreach and capacity building activities of this movement, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) together with the Steering Group of the GPA and other partners are conducting a series of webinars on humanitarian energy issues to raise awareness and spread knowledge about different technologies, best practices and impacts.
