(Part 2) 2025 Global Humanitarian Policy Forum - Our shared global responsibility: Holding the line together.


On 11-12 December, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the UN Foundation will co-host a hybrid2025 Global Humanitarian Policy Forum for the first time since 2019.

Location: 405 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017, USA
