% of collective shelter or campsites that have an environmental plan at all stages of the Transformative Agenda life cycle

% shelters or camps that have a sustainable or sustainable local supplier plan in place and implement a minimum number of sustainable actions for service provision.

% shelters or camps that have effective solid waste separation, management, re-use, repurposing, and recycling systems in place

Does your shelter and settlement plan include environmental sustainable construction considerations, assess and mitigate potential environmental threats and potential negative impacts of the intervention?

Does your plan include an assessment of the environmental fragilities and benefits of multiple alternative locations?

Does your plan include an assessment of the activities of other actors, including non-humanitarian actors, and the combined environmental impacts of all of your activities?

Does your intervention monitoring plan include environmental consideration to measure how the impact is mitigated and environmental opportunities enhanced?

Known natural and man-made threats, risks, and hazards are listed in shelter and settlement plans together with safety/mitigation measures.

Planning documents include Environmental impact analysis, measures to mitigate the impact, and environmental enhancement opportunities.

Conduct risk and habitability assessments.

Conduct area-wide strategic environmental impact assessments.

Support a shelter cluster-wide joint assessment and strategy.

Evaluate both local and remote suppliers that follow essential sustainability criteria (defined in the early stage of the intervention).

Assess and monitor sites with waste collection and treatment systems

·   Develop a shelter and settlement plan in consultation with local authorities and community members responsible for environmental management and service provision.

·   Incorporate environmentally sustainable construction considerations in the project management cycle and longer-term environmental opportunities into recovery planning from the start of the response.

·   Conduct hazard mapping and strategic environmental impact assessment.

·   Consider the potential negative impact of certain types of activities such as cash-based interventions, on natural resources (e.g. increased logging).

·   If not already in place, support local authorities and communities to develop environmental management plans.

·   Consider ways to increase the level of security of land tenure as a part of the shelter program. A higher level of security of tenure can encourage long-term consideration for the local environment.
