Displaying 60 of about 114 resultsWhen international leaders met in the Bangladeshi capital last month for ongoing discussions about a new global migration policy, they glossed over what experts say will soon become a massive driver of migration: climate change.
“The international system is in a state of denial,” said A.N.M. Muniruzzaman, a retired major-general who now head…
This report explores multiple and protracted displacements caused by natural hazard-related disasters in Asia-Pacific, including those influenced by climate change and climate variability. It unearths the underlying risk drivers of natural hazard-related disaster displacement and the factors that influence whether these disaster displacements become mul…
This publication examines the links between water risks (harmful outcomes related to water, from droughts and floods to lack of sanitation), conflict, and forced displacement. It aims to better explain how to address the vulnerabilities of forcibly displaced persons and their host communities, and to identify water policy and investment responses. The M…
The intention of this strategy is to set the direction for Norway’s humanitarian policy and response in the years ahead, and to highlight key areas for action that are important for meeting the greatest humanitarian challenges of our time.
First, this strategy gives priority to responding to the protection crisis that is exacerbating the humanitar…
This report lays the groundwork for addressing the gap in evidence and analysis of the risk of disaster-related displacement. It presents the first results generated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre’s global disaster displacement risk model, which builds upon and extends the analysis presented in the 2015 Global Assessment Report. Therefor…
This document explores the links between ocean and marine ecosystems, climate change and human mobility. The International Organization of Migration (IOM) and the Ocean and Climate Platform (OCP) have combined their efforts in order to address this growing challenge. As such, this document is intended for parties interested…
The aim of this guide is to serve as a reference providing key background considerations and a template to assist planning bodies at national, regional, municipal, and other levels – both urban and rural – in the development and/or refinement of evacuation plans in accordance with emergency management principles.
The guide affirms that evacuation proce…
This fact sheet presents Nansen Initiative's perspective on disaster risk reduction (DRR). It suggests key messages to inform the drafting of the post-2015 Hyogo Framework for disaster risk reduction with regard to addressing disaster related displacement and highlights a few key recommendations for the Pacific, Central America and the Greater Horn of A…
The report forecasts an increased risk of global displacement caused by disasters, and calls for a stronger link between displacement and disaster risk reduction. It also applies the concept of risk to disaster-related displacement while quantifiying human displacement risk around the world.
As UN member states adopt the new global Sustainable Development Goals, IDMC sets out in this briefing paper why internal displacement is a development concern, and how particular attention to internally displaced persons will do much to ensure highly vulnerable populations are not left behind.
The paper argues that to ensure inclusive and sustainable…
This paper investigates the causal chain between climate change, migration and conflict in the context of the Sahel region, with special focus on implications for the youth cohort living in the most vulnerable rural areas, and concludes with policy recommendations aimed at mitigation of the effects of climate variability and prevention of youth engageme…
This paper assesses the risk of disaster-induced displacement in 21 island states in the South Pacific. It presents results from the second of five planned analyses which correspond with the regional consultations of the Nansen Initiative, a state-led process that brings together representatives from governments, international organisations, civil socie…

The United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the glob…
This brief focuses on COVID-19 in Myanmar and how the interplay between conflict, displacement and inter-communal tensions may influence disease control. All health emergencies have social and political challenges, but sensitive consideration and effective management of these is especially important where there is past or ongoing conflict, and where tru…
This paper aims to empirically establish the causal path from climate change to violent conflict and cross-border migration and explore how climate and conflict interplay in influencing asylum seekers flows. Exploiting bilateral refugee flows data for the years 2006–2015 for 157 countries, the study employs sample selection methods for gr…
