  • Great strides have been made since the Millennium Development Goals. However, a lot more needs to be done.
    Jack Straw
    Former Foreign Secretary
  • Climate change scares me the most. This is one of the things that can’t be addressed only by Iraq, UK or the USA. Everybody has to work together and be on the same page, towards a more sustainable and green future.
    Basima Abdulrahman
    Founder & CEO at KESK
  • It’s important to be a voice. I’m a voice for thousands of people.
    Noella Coursaris Musunka
    Founder at Malaika
  • Unfortunately, the world we live in is going through major humanitarian crises despite all claims of development and civilisation of the 21st century. Against such a background, we have a duty as individuals and societies.
    First Lady of Turkey, Emine Erdoğan
  • The best outcome is being able to strengthen the infrastructure, which is the Humanitarian response, and working more with businesses to achieve sustainable peace.
    Charlie Bronks
    Head of Strategic Partnerships at Crown Agents Bank
  • The conversation could be less about aid and more about trade, and actually that’s in the interest of all of us. Global trade is crucial, it creates jobs and makes the world spin.

COVID-19 Update

COVID-19 Update

Following the escalation of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have taken the decision to re-schedule World Humanitarian Forum London 2020 and the co-located events (Aid&Trade London, IDME, Emergency Show), which were originally scheduled to be staged in 15-16 April 2020 in London.

Due to the increased health and security measures taken by countries around the globe, including lockdown measures by the UK Government, as well as the strong advisement from the World Health Organization (WHO) to contain the spread of the COVID-19, these combined factors are now beyond our control and we carry a duty of care for all parties involved. 

The new date for WHF London and the co-located events is May 2021. In the meantime, we are scheduled to meet at WHF and Aid&Trade New York 2020 on 22-23 September 2020. We would like to express our appreciation for your understanding, patience and continued support as we remain resolute in creating meaningful positive action and changing the narrative.
