Context

The current climate emergency requires immediate and drastic action. The IPCC 1.5°C Special Report clearly states that global climate neutrality has to be reached by 2050 to avoid irreversible effects and that a collective effort from all sectors of economy and society is needed. Where many initiatives are targeting the for profit sector, much is still to be done to improve development cooperation and humanitarian organisations’ climate footprint and enhance their contribution in promoting climate action all over the world: the role that NGDOs have in promoting climate actions’ mainstreaming at organisational level, community level and institutional level has a great potential that (e)mission (im)possible wishes to build up.

Objectives

To enhance the sector potential and its leadership in climate action, (e)mission (im)possible wants to develop Higher Education qualifications in the field of climate action among development cooperation and humanitarian’s future and current professionals.
