  • Heatwave Guide for Cities
    HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES 2 HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES Heatwaves are deadly and their impacts are on the rise globally due to climate change. But this is not inevitable; it is up to us to prevent this public-health crisis from impacting our neighbours, family members and friends. Every year, heatwaves claim the lives of infants, older people, and people with chronic health conditions. The urban poor frequently bear the brunt of this silent emergency. In addition to threatening the lives and health of vulnerable popula- tions, heatwaves have cascading impacts in other areas of society, such as reduced economic output, strained health systems and rolling power outages. The Lancet estimates that in 2017, 153 billion hours of work were lost due to extreme heat. What is unacceptable about this silent emergency is that simple, low-cost actions such as ordinary citizens checking on vulnerable neighbours can save lives during episodes of extreme heat. As many as 5 billion people live in areas of the world where heatwaves can be forecast before they happen, which means we have time to take early action to save lives. To address the existing need and reduce future risks posed by climate change, we need collective global action to scale up early warning systems for heat. People living in urban areas are amongst the hardest hit when a heatwave occurs because these are hotter than the surrounding countryside. Along with climate change, urbanization is one of the most transformative trends of this century and the last. Over half the world now lives in urban areas and this is projected to increase to two-thirds by 2050.

  • Red Cross in the EU
    A profile of the Red Cross in the EU Facts and Figures 2003 A Profile of the Red Cross in the European Union (EU) Facts and Figures In the EU, the Red Cross network represents over one million volunteers, employs 110,000 people and has over a thousand staff working internationally. Although each National Society belongs to a different social, political and cultural system and performs different tasks, all share the same basic unifying principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. In the EU, the Red Cross is a major provider of social and emergency services and a partner in policy discussions pertaining to humanitarian issues both within and outside the EU. Since 1983, the National Red Cross Societies of the EU, together with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, have established a representation and liaising office in Brussels, in order to facilitate cooperation between the EU National Societies and to bring the grass roots experience to the attention of the European institutions. This publication presents a profile of the 15 EU National Societies: their structure and main activities and their common interests within the EU context. It does not claim to be exhaustive. Realities, facts and figures change from day-to-day and we will update these profiles on a regular basis. The many challenges that lie ahead include the preoccupation of the Red Cross of how best to serve the most vulnerable in an ever changing environment; and the importance of its specific mandate and role within society being recognized by both national authorities and the EU Institutions.

    Fact Sheet The Red Cross Approach to Resilience REF. RCEU 04/2014 – 004 02 April 2014 This are the recommendations of the National Red Cross Societies of the Member Resilience States of the European Union and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)(1) Since its creation, the Red Cross has been guided by a clear set of humanitarian principles and values that aims, in one way or another, to effectively contribute to building resilience.
