OUR SESSIONS

How ACAPS’ Risk Radar Supports Forward-looking Humanitarian Decisions (Virtual)

This session explores how climate hazards and conflict dynamics increasingly interact to drive humanitarian needs. ACAPS will introduce the Risk Radar, a forward-looking risk analysis tool that helps identify and monitor emerging risks in settings where climate stress and violence compound one another. Participants will see how the tool translates diverse signals into comparable risk levels and plausible rationales, supporting earlier prioritization and more agile planning for anticipatory action and preparedness efforts in climate-affected conflict contexts.

INFORM Severity Index Unlocked: A Hands-On 101 (Virtual)

This practical session breaks down the INFORM Severity Index, explaining how it measures crisis severity using a common global scale. We’ll walk through what sits behind the Index, how it combines different dimensions of impact and vulnerability, and when it is most useful in humanitarian analysis and decision-making.

Through interactive examples and real user cases, participants will get a clear sense of how to apply the Severity Index in their work—and where its limits lie. ACAPS will also share recent improvements to the tool.

Ukraine 2026 Scenarios (Virtual)

To provide humanitarian responders with an interactive, forward-looking analysis of potential developments in Ukraine through December 2026. The session will walk participants through ACAPS’ scenario-building methodology in Ukraine, illustrating how key assumptions are developed, how uncertainties are prioritised, and how expert inputs from our workshops are triangulated to identify likely humanitarian and operational impacts. The presentation will also share emerging signals and contextual insights not yet available in the published scenario report.

The impact of US-funding cuts on Ukraine (Virtual)

The ACAPS Ukraine Analysis Hub recently realeased an update to our report on the "Implications of the US foreign aid cuts on humanitarian, development, and government-led programmes in Ukraine", published in March 2025. The report was published in December 2025. Whereas the first report attempted to predict the impact of US funding cuts in Ukraine, this update analysed the actual impacts that have taken place over the past year. Our analysis is based on self-reported data from more than 65 organisations (INGOs, CSOs, and UN agencies) operating in Ukraine, as well as dozens of key informant interviews with numerous Ukrainian and international responders and experts.

Pivot or Perish: is meaningful humanitarian reform still possible? (Hybrid)

The US aid funding cuts in early 2025 sent shockwaves through the humanitarian sector, yet how have we responded to this disruption? As organizations struggle to do more with less, can this crisis catalyze new organizational forms and innovative approaches? Is a new humanitarian business model emerging, or are we simply repackaging old solutions? Are we still genuinely pursuing localization, or has it become empty rhetoric? This panel tackles the difficult questions facing humanitarian reform in 2026: How do we shift power dynamics in practice? Can the sector truly pivot to meet a rapidly changing world? Join us to explore whether meaningful transformation is possible or if we’re destined to repeat familiar patterns.

Decoding the humanitarian future in a changing world (Hybrid)

We will use speculative scenarios to look at situations where our assumptions no longer hold, and uncertainty cannot be smoothed away. The aim is not to predict the future, but to think more clearly about how we interpret it. Together, we will examine the limits of current approaches and consider what humanitarian analysis might need when contexts evolve faster than our frameworks.
