Global Humanitarian Forum

Global Humanitarian Forum Geneva fosters dialogue, brokers partnerships and builds political will in order to strengthen the international community's ability to address and overcome current and future humanitarian challenges. President Kofi Annan called together 300 leaders from all sectors of society worldwide to urgently address what he calls "the human face of climat change".
Herve de Clerck addressed participants on the issue of Climate Change and Communications tackling issues such as the role Advertising can play in building global climate responsibility, the importance of building communication that goes beyond awareness and the need to use the internet to bridge rich and poor communities with micro programs. For the coming months, ACT Responsible will be engaged in a close working relationship with the Global Humanitarian Forum to help make progress in achieving these goals.
