The annual Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) Plenary Meeting for 2023 was held from 9 to 10 May, hosted by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Copenhagen. A total of 50 participants from 20 different partner organizations attended the event in-person.

Participants discussed the critical role of joint telecommunications practices in enabling humanitarian response to crises and empowering communities to adapt, recover, and build better futures.

Throughout the Plenary and following the presentation of a new partnerships model, the group agreed that strong partnerships is required more than ever to tackle unprecedented challenges. The ETC is exemplifying the power of coming together.
