COVID-19 has changed the world, and more changes are yet to come. The pandemic and the climate crisis are the two greatest global emergencies since the Second World War. Known for landmine clearance expertise, HALO teams across the globe are now supporting COVID-19 response, while continuing to deal with deadly remnants of war. This report shows how HALO is using its ambulances, strategic planning skills and community networks to support health authorities, the UN and NGOs on the global COVID-19 front line.
Without urgent action, the pandemic’s impact will extend far beyond the current public health emergency. The world’s poorest and conflict-affected communities will be hit hardest by recession, increased poverty and heightened inequality. Preventing long-term suffering requires innovation, bold policy and international leadership that is still shamefully absent.
Fighting for a Common Cause provides an overview of our response to date, along with concrete recommendations for the way ahead. Download the full report below.
"It is time for global leadership that is already overdue. Like climate change, COVID-19 is a protracted and shared crisis. Mitigating its impact needs global cooperation as much as it needs to be based on a localised approached. It is time for leadership, bold policy and a desire to think and act differently."
