Donor Greening Working Group Priority Actions

Summary

The Donor Greening Working Group was formed to align and coordinate donor efforts on greening humanitarian assistance. It has endorsed ten Common Donor Priority Actions, ranging from environmental assessments and sustainable procurement to reducing emissions, improving waste and water management, phasing out fossil‑fuel generators, and promoting clean cooking and sustainable food. These priority actions aim to harmonize donor expectations, avoid contradictory guidance, and provide clear direction to humanitarian partners on where to focus their greening efforts, while acknowledging that implementation must remain context‑sensitive and should not impede life‑saving humanitarian response.
