Abstract

Sustainability in its long-term perspective is agreeably sometimes hard to imagine and implement in short-lived crisis situations. But nevertheless, the future demand regarding research as well as practical implementation for sustainability principles in humanitarian logistics is huge. This chapter therefore provides a basic definition drawn from existing sources as well as a draft structure with interesting research questions for this new field of sustainability in humanitarian supply chains. Furthermore, limitations as well as a case study regarding Syria as a large and long-lasting humanitarian crisis are outlined. For the case a new principle in international aid and political answers is suggested as one possible input from research regarding sustainability principles in humanitarian situations.
