Joint Position Paper:Save Our NEAT+
16 July 2026Members' publicationsHumanitarian action is increasingly shaped by climate and environmental risks, yet the tools needed to assess and manage these risks are being weakened. Established instruments such as the Nexus Environmental Assessment Tool (NEAT+)—a widely used environmental screening tool—are at risk due to funding cuts and shifting priorities. This undermines project quality, increases long-term costs, and raises risks for avoidable environmental harm. As a fieldtested, user-friendly and standardised tool, NEAT+ plays a critical role in mainstreaming environmental considerations in humanitarian action. Without sustained support, the sector risks fragmentation, loss of expertise, and declining environmental standards. This paper calls on donors, leading humanitarian organisations, and policy makers to secure NEAT+ as a core humanitarian instrument by assigning dedicated, multi-year funding and advancing coordination mechanisms for its unified development.
