In 2024, the world experienced 110 armed conflicts — the highest count since World War II — while extreme weather displaced more than 800,000 people.

This case study seeks to demonstrate why humanitarian agencies and businesses need to work together in the field of logistics. It discusses the challenges of collaboration but argues that the potential gains from this constitute one of the strongest arguments for explicit cross-sector coordination throughout the disaster management cycle, from emergency preparedness to crisis response and recovery.
