Campaign on climate-related displacement
Call for tenders: ECHO-01-NP-2021-05
In line with the validated 2021 communication strategy, DG ECHO’s communication unit proposes to launch the preparatory work for an awareness campaign to shine a light on the impact of climate change on humanitarian crises worldwide.
The campaign will take a human angle focusing on stories from internally displaced people, migrants and refugees, whose lives have been highly impacted by natural hazards and long-term consequences of climate change and on those who are at risk of becoming internally displaced.
These human stories will serve the purpose to bring the extent of the EU’s role in humanitarian aid operations worldwide to the attention of the broader European public.
The campaign aims at contributing to boosting the EU’s role in humanitarian operations across a diverse range of platforms, channels and audiences and at connecting young Europeans with their counterparts in more vulnerable areas of the world, where the effects of climate change have forced the local populations to migrate or to reorganise their daily lives.
By linking climate change to displacement and presenting the positive impact of EU humanitarian aid on the lives of people in need, the campaign aims at reaching multiple objectives.
These are:
- To create a direct link/connection between young Europeans and their counterparts in more vulnerable areas of the world where the EU is active in providing humanitarian aid in crises worsened by the effects of climate change.
- To actively engage the target audience based on the urgency of a response to climate change and a specific call to action.
- To position the European Union as one of the largest humanitarian aid donor in the world.
- To raise awareness among (young) EU citizens about the EU effort to enhance disasters preparedness by ensuring climate adaptation in the most vulnerable regions of the world.
- To contribute in shifting or maintaining a positive attitude of (young) Europeans towards the EU and its role in contributing to a greener and fairer world (Green Deal).
