OneHumanity SharedResponsibility Report of the UnitedNations Secretary General forthe WorldHumanitarianSummit In 2015, the international community showed that it is possible to come together and tackle global challenges such as poverty and climate change, and to create a better world for future generations. Now it is time to turn promises into action for this generation, and uphold people’s safety, dignity and the right to thrive. This is why the United Nations Secretary-General has called for the first ever World Humanitarian Summit: to reaffirm our commitment to humanity and chart a course for change. The Secretary-General’s Agenda for Humanity calls on global leaders to commit to five core responsibilities in the name of our shared humanity. Global leadership to prevent and end conflict Preventing conflicts and finding political solutions to resolve them is our first and foremost responsibility to humanity. CONFLICTS DRIVE 80% OF ALL HUMANITARIANNEEDS. Uphold the norms that safeguard humanity Every day, civilians are deliberately or indiscriminately killed in wars. We are witnessing the erosion of 150 years of international humanitarian law. But even wars have limits: leaders must recommit to upholding the rules that protect humanity. 90% OF PEOPLE KILLED OR INJURED BY THE USE OF EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS IN POPULATED AREAS ARECIVILIANS Leave no one behind The World Humanitarian Summit is the first test of our commitment to transform the lives of those most at risk of being left behind. This means reaching everyone and empowering all women, men, girls and boys to be agents of positive transformation. It means reducing displacement, supporting refugees and migrants, ending gaps in education and fighting to eradicate sexual and gender-based violence. In 2015, global leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and pledged to leave no onebehind. Change people's lives – from delivering aid to ending need Success must now be measured by how people's vulnerability and risk are reduced, not by how needs are met year after year. Ending need will require three fundamental shifts in the way we work: Reinforce, don't replace national systems Anticipate, do not wait for crises Transcend the humanitarian-development divide Today, 43% of people live in fragile situations. By 2030 that number is estimated to climb to 62%. Invest in humanity Accepting and acting upon our shared responsibilities for humanity requires political, institutional and financial investment. As a shift is needed from funding to financing that invests in local capacities, is risk-informed, invests in fragile situations and incentivizes collective outcomes. We must also reduce the funding gap for humanitarian needs. Only 0.4% of official development assistance spent on disaster preparedness in 2014.I call upon global leaders to place humanity – the concern for the dignity, safety and well-being of our citizens – at the forefront of all policies, strategies and decision-making.The World Humanitarian Summit must be for the people living on the frontline of humanity. They count on us. We cannot let them down.
