@Griss_Rod27 @TheHALOTrust @Harvard_ACCPI @MinesActionCan @HumanSecurityCH Agree that it should be a cross-cutting issue but it also needs ownership and dedicated attention, much like gender. The experience from environmental mainstreaming across humanitarian response is that ownership is key, otherwise it's everybody and nobody's responsibility.

Great to see that @andersen_inger @UNEP will be joining @UNReliefChief to brief the #UNSC on the combined environmental and humanitarian threat posed by the SAFER oil tanker off #Yemen tomorrow https://t.co/xNj5Vroibs #SalvageTheSAFER

The security situation around key oilfields and export terminals in #Libya shows no sign of easing, instead there is a potential for escalation and with it environmental risks from damage or disruption to infrastructure.

@TankerTrackers Feeling more hopeful for the UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday but it wouldn't be the first time things have ground to a halt. Also conscious that a lot of the difficult stuff will come later...

But given the priority that must be afforded to protecting people from cluster munitions, donors will have a key role to play in encouraging operators to implement and report on these policies, which will need to be pragmatic and effective.

Land release after clearance should also address #biodiversity loss and climate adaptation. Protecting or restoring habitats, implementing #NatureBasedSolutions and encouraging sustainable livelihoods could all help to reduce the negative impact of clearance.
