Over the past decades, the humanitarian sector has been changing due to various global contexts, which includes the emerging humanitarian actors as well as global pandemics such as the COVID-19. In this, the aim of this seminar is to examine the global humanitarian system in a rapidly changing world. Engaging with scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, this webinar invites global audiences to engage in a constructive dialogue to understand the past, examine the present, and establish a vision for future.
The International Humanitarian Affairs Programme of the Department of Health Sciences at University of York promotes dialogue and debate among academic, policy, and practice communities to constructively critique the existing global humanitarian system. This webinar aims to present perspectives on how the global humanitarian system can transform itself to become relevant and effective in a rapidly changing social, political, cultural, economic, and environmental contexts globally.
The webinar consists of brief presentations from leading scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the field of humanitarian affairs, followed by open discussion to help develop recommendations.
