Opinion: βCrisis, what crisis?β Steps toward an achievable goal
βPolycrisisβ has become βpermacrisis.β The resolutions passed at the recent Red Cross Red Crescent International Conference will help break an unrelenting cycle.
The world has entered an era of "permacrisis" with little recovery time. @theifrc.bsky.socialβs new resolutions adopted during the international conference offer a strategic roadmap to navigate this reality.

A grim milestone has been passed. The @UN has confirmed that 2024 has become the worst year ever for humanitarian workers killed worldwide. So far, 281 have died, 95% of them are local and 30 of them from IFRC network.
This is unacceptable. Governments must protect all humanitarian workers.

After 2 weeks, #COP29 has finished with a deal. It's far from perfect, but it's something. Effective implementation at the community level is crucial - delivery on what's been promised. The agreement in Baku creates a pathway, but trust and action go hand in hand.

In Canberra Australia, I had productive discussions with high-level government officials on pressing humanitarian issues -with the Governor-General, Minister Wong, Minister Conroy and Senator Birmingham reinforcing our partnerships to tackle the complex challenges & protect humanitarian workers.
