Framework for the Integration of Climate Risks into ICRC Operations: Version 1.0 2023–2025

This document is both a general framework for integrating climate risk into ICRC operations and a guidance document to support delegations preparing their Planning for Results. It will enable delegations to make informed decisions about their priorities when it comes to preparing for, anticipating, absorbing and adapting to climate risk. It is divided into the following sections: Section 1 serves as a general introduction to climate action within the organization and outlines the aims of this framework. Section 2 outlines the pathways that delegations can take to integrate climate risks, and the related objectives, and is relevant for both management teams and coordinators. Section 3 describes the cross-cutting steps, tools and approaches needed to create an enabling environment for climate risk integration within a delegation. It is particularly relevant for management teams. The annexes provide technical guidance. Annex A, which is primarily for coordinators, outlines the framework for climate-smart programmes and projects, including indicators and actions, as well as the tools and guidance for specific ICRC functions, programmes and departments.
