SUMMARY:Pre-COP Roundtable ‘Avenues of Action on Climate and Displacement’
DESCRIPTION:In the run-up to COP31\, being held in Tϋrkiye in November 2026\, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh in the Netherlands\, The Hague Humanitarian Studies Centre\, and the International Institute of Social Studies invite you to join a roundtable event examining Avenues of Action on Climate and Displacement.  \nOver the last decade\, weather-related disasters have displaced approximately 250 million people within their own countries. Floods\, storms\, droughts and heatwaves are already uprooting communities. Some people move temporarily and return to their homes and livelihoods\, while others cannot go back and move within countries or across borders in search of safety. \nIt is thus time to make a plan to build resilience for those adapting to climate\, take action in providing support to people migrating across borders and recognising the challenges of climate-related displacement within countries. \nIn this roundtable\, speakers and panellists will consider potential avenues of action to help adapt and prepare for climate-related displacement\, including working with host communities to reduce risks for both newcomers and improving adaptation strategies for existing residents. \nExamples will be explored from Bangladesh and elsewhere. \nSpeakers\nWelcome: Professor Ruard GanzevoortOpens external\, ISS Rector \nScene-setting: Hyeonggeun JiOpens external\, Researcher\, HSC-ISS \nJoint action 1: Paul van de LogtOpens external\, Head of Climate\, Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs \nJoint action 2: Kevin Playford\,Opens external Deputy Head of Mission\, Embassy of Australia in the Netherlands \n\nRoundtable discussion moderated by Professor Thea Hilhorst\, HSC Director and featuringProfessor Joyeeta Gupta\, UvA\nDr Bishawjit Mallik\, University of Utrecht\nJoep Verhagen\, Director Global Centre on Adaptation\nDr Rodrigo Mena\, Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Association\n\nClosing by H.E.

SUMMARY:HSC One-Day Conference: Humanitarian Justice & The State of the Humanitarian System
DESCRIPTION:About the conference\nAs is well-documented\, the global geopolitical milieu for humanitarian action in all forms is increasingly challenging. State funding for formal humanitarian action is at its lowest for decades\, there is a growing disregard for International Humanitarian Law in various conflict contexts\, and (poly-)crises derive from interlocking environmental hazards\, socio-economic vulnerabilities and ongoing hybrid and protracted conflicts across the world. \nThese pressures are not only operational challenges. They bring to light issues of legitimacy\, effectiveness and relevance\, requiring deeper reflections around the sufficiency of current approaches and the need for alternatives. The need for alternatives specifically has been articulated in recent calls for humanitarian justice: a ‘lived need of crisis-affected people for fair\, transparent\, inclusive and respectful humanitarian responses that are rooted in principles of dignity\, solidarity\, care and shared responsibility for people\, nature and the planet\, and that respect International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights’. \nHow can humanitarianism\, as an expression of humanity and solidarity\, continue to alleviate suffering under these circumstances? To what extent do existing humanitarian structures reproduce or mitigate injustice? In what ways do non-traditional humanitarian actors\, including networks of (affected) people\, work to try and reduce disaster risk? \nAnd what role can Humanitarian Justice play as both a critique of and a pathway for transforming contemporary humanitarian action? \nLet’s take stock together and look at the state of the humanitarian system. \n  \nCall for sending abstracts \nThe theme for this year is: “Humanitarian Justice & The State of the Humanitarian System”. Please send 100-150 word abstracts for presentations of around 10 minutes to humanitarianstudiescentre@iss.nl \nPlease note that we have space for approximately 30 presenters/presentations\, and so we may not be able to accommodate all proposals. \nWhen submitting your abstract\, please indicate which of the following themes it is part of:\n– The State of the Humanitarian System\n– Humanitarian Justice\n– Conflict and IHL\n– Environment\, climate change\, and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)\n– Critical humanitarian studies\n– Migration and refugees \n	Register now

SUMMARY:Book event | The New Global Possible: Rebuilding optimism in the age of climate crisis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Ani Dasgupta\, President and CEO of the World Resources Institute\, as he presents his new book The New Global Possible: Rebuilding Optimism in the Age of Climate Crisis. \nThe conversation will examine why a new economy — one that works for people\, nature\, and the climate — is not only necessary but achievable\, even in a world marked by instability and uncertainty. Drawing on his book\, Dasgupta will shed light on the clean economic transition already taking shape around the globe\, and what it takes to steer that change in the right direction. \nHis central argument: the question is no longer whether the transition will happen\, but how. The presentation will be followed by an open discussion on harnessing innovation\, dismantling entrenched power structures\, and building a cleaner\, more resilient economy. \nProgramme \n\n16:30–16:35 — Welcome and opening\n16:35–17:00 — Fireside chat with Ani Dasgupta\, hosted by Dr Oane Visser\n17:00–17:30 — Audience Q&A\n17:30–18:30 — Networking reception
