Confronting climate displacement: learning from Pakistan's floods

This report explores what climate-induced displacement looks like and outlines steps to ensure that U.S. and international agencies address the threat that climate change poses to economic, political and human security. It calls for the international community to implement more effective mechanisms and programs to prevent and respond to displacement from future natural disasters of this magnitude by evaluating and learning from the emergency response.

The report advocates for the UN to review the mechanisms available to prepare for and respond to large-scale disasters and to focus on ways to improve cluster leadership; and especially for the UN Country Team to work closely with national governments and in-country climate experts to map at-risk areas and devise potential disaster scenarios in regions where future disasters are likely to happen.
