Applied Digital Analysis of UN Legal Content on Humanitarian Assistance, Security and Climate Change Policy: Tracking Social Narratives, Public Engagement and Posting Behavior

Abstract:

Background: Humanitarian assistance, climate change and health emergencies imply the need to identify accurate assistance services and solutions to coordinate responses and to develop more efficient measures and intervention in the international system. In this context, the development of coordinated policies and strategies at the level of the United Nations (UN) must engage an efficient collection of data, resources and information for monitoring public perception developing responsibility, coordinated efforts and resilient responses for the social and humanitarian crisis.

Humanitarian assistance, climate change and health emergencies imply the need to identify accurate assistance services and solutions to coordinate responses (Baxter et al., 2022; Schwerdtle et al., 2024; Williams & Downes, 2017) and to develop more efficient measures and intervention in the international system (Cross, 2019; SankarGorton et al., 2024). In this context, the development of coordinated policies and strategies at the level of the United Nations (UN) must engage an efficient collection of data, resources and information for monitoring public perception developing responsibility, coordinated efforts and resilient responses for the social and humanitarian crisis (Doering-White et al., 2024; McIver et al., 2024). Therefore, the aims and objectives of the research are aimed at performing and engaging a sentiment analysis by categorizing and classifying mentions of the most relevant topics related to United Nations, humanitarian assistance and climate change as positive, negative or neutral. The second objective engages a double perspective on (a) analyzing and reviewing the posting behavior on weekdays and hour and (b) understanding the public perception, the tone of the audience, and the intention of online debate. The importance and relevance of the research stems from the correlation humanitarian assistance, climate change and health emergencies as focused fields in the monitorisation which require more coordinated responses and efficient measures of intervention in the international system. The novelty and ingenuity of data collection and processing aimed at monitoring public perception and the need to develop coordinated efforts and resilient responses for the social and humanitarian crisis make the theme timely and necessary within the international context resuming the coordinated policies and strategies at the level of the United Nations (UN).
