1 Links between environmental issues and other clusters

2 Why do we need to link environment to the other clusters? First and foremost, environment is a cross- cutting issue to be mainstreamed in operations Environment considerations should be across all clusters!

3 Global clusters Agriculture CCCM Early Recovery Education Emergency Shelter Emergency Telecommunications Health Logistics Nutrition Protection WASH

4 Global clusters Agriculture CCCM Early Recovery Education Emergency Shelter Emergency Telecommunications Health Logistics Nutrition Protection WASH

5 Camp Coordination/ Camp Management Provision of shelter material and NFIs to planned and spontaneous camps needs to be closely coordinated with the CCCM cluster. Name an example of a link between environment and the CCCM cluster

6 Early Recovery In natural disasters Early Recovery planning is to be included in the emergency shelter interventions from the outset. UN Habitat is the focal agency within the ESC for Early Recovery. Name an example of a link between environment and the Early Recovery cluster.

7 Logistics Shelter interventions require large scale logistical support, and close cooperation with the logistic cluster is necessary in order to facilitate a smooth supply chain. Name an example of a link between environment and the Logistical cluster.

8 Protection The impacted population will often be vulnerable as a consequence of the disaster, whether caused by man or by nature. Vulnerability extends to where they live and they may be more or less vulnerable as a consequence of their shelter arrangements. Name an example of a link between environment and the Protection cluster.

9 WASH The population in need of emergency shelter support will in most cases also require WAT/SAN interventions. Close coordination of response and active sharing of information about the status and needs for the impacted population should be undertaken. Name an example of a link between environment and the WASH cluster

10 Exercise: linking to other clusters Spend 20 minutes brainstorming ALL the main issues linked to environment in your chosen sector Rapporteur will write points on flip chart and then spend 5 to 6 minutes feeding back to group We will create a matrix and see overlaps and gaps See Handout for brief reference to clusters
