🕊️ From Floods to Firearms: What Changes When Anticipatory Action Meets Violence, Conflict, and Displacement 🚨 When climate risks intersect with conflict, the way we act early must change! At today’s thematic session of #APDP2025, our colleagues from Plan International Pilipinas and Plan International Asia-Pacific joined partners from DRC, World Vision, and the German Red Cross to explore how anticipatory action can remain effective in fragile and conflict-affected settings. The discussion unpacked what it takes to make early action work when crises are unpredictable - spotlighting the operational, ethical, and political shifts needed to act early and act safely. Discussions emphasized the importance of conflict-sensitive forecasting, community participation, and inclusive decision-making to ensure that women, youth, and marginalized groups are not only protected but empowered to lead. 👉 Stay tuned for more updates from #APDialoguePlatform! #AnticipatoryAction #GenderEquality #HumanitarianAction #ClimateAction
