The Austrian RC is continuously advocating for disaster policies that leave no one behind. Special focus at the moment is on the humanitarian consequences of climate change.

Climate change adaptation and action takes place across all operational fields of the organization. The Austrian RC has developed the “Sustainability Charter of the Austrian RC” which is essentially a national translation of the Climate and Environmental Charta for Humanitarian Organisations and contains 5 central commitments, that are implemented all the way down from the national to the local level.

The recognition as auxiliary to the public authorities in terms of disaster management which is reflected not just by the recognition in the federal Red Cross law but also by the integration in the National Crisis and Disaster Management (SKKM) mechanism that enables efficient disaster management in Austria and abroad based on cooperation between all competent authorities and rescue organizations at federal and provincial level.

Précisions au sujet des difficultés :

Yes, Austrian RC is faced with a kind of “missing state of mind” or lack of a sense of urgency about the humanitarian, social, economic needs evolving from the climate crises in conversations, actions and policies. With little public debate on the upcoming transformations induced by climate change, there is also little public understanding of the urgency to take consolidated and comprehensive action.
