CERF-Funded Climate Action in 2024

CERF has become a leading global humanitarian funding tool for response and anticipatory action for climate-related hazards, such as droughts, floods and storms. CERF stands out for its efficient and rapid disbursement mechanisms, enabling timely humanitarian action for rapid onset and gradually accumulating climate-related emergencies that reaches the most vulnerable, often in fragile contexts. Historically, more than a quarter of all CERF funding has been provided for climate-related humanitarian action. Since its inception in 2006, CERF has allocated $2.5 billion in relation to climate hazards, which has enabled life-saving assistance for millions of people.
