G7 Foreign Ministers’ Statement on Strengthening Anticipatory Action in Humanitarian Assistance
2022-05-13

Humanitarian needs are at a record high. Crises and conflicts, climate change impacts and disasters are increasingly threatening the lives and livelihoods of millions of people – trends exacerbated by the impacts of COVID19 and Russia’s unjustifiable, unprovoked and illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.

• we, the G7, commit to making the humanitarian system as anticipatory as possible
• the growing problem of global food security and nutrition
• Anticipatory action is defined as acting ahead of predicted hazards
  to prevent or reduce acute humanitarian impacts before they fully
  unfold. This requires pre-agreed plans that identify partners and
  activities, reliable early warning information, and pre-agreed
  financing, released predictably and rapidly when an agreed trigger point is reached
• designing and developing innovative risk
  analytics, thresholds, triggers, and modelling for anticipation as well
  as investment in coordina&on and infrastructure to allow for data
  and model sharing to multiply knowledge, evidence and experiences
  of anticipatory action.
• support local communities, civil society and authorities in the
  relevant countries to play a leading role in climate and disaster risk
  analysis and management, data-collection, preparedness and programming.
• We commit to the inclusion and participation in anticipatory action
  and the empowerment of marginalized and vulnerable communities,
  groups, and individuals in anticipatory action. We recognise that
  gender, age, ability, ethnic and religious identity, displacement status
  and sexual identity overlap with social, cultural, and economic
  barriers to inclusion in anticipatory action
• we … strive to significantly increase our financial support in anticipatory action
