Published by: NRC ; 2014This document addresses the need for coordinated approaches to prevent, manage and respond to the enormous challenge of disaster-induced internal displacement. It is an essential contribution to the knowledge of the scale and impacts of rapid-onset disasters.
It provides a solid evidence base for understanding global patterns and trends in displacement, and to inform frameworks for the achievement of post-2015 goals on disaster risk reduction and sustainable development. It also underscores the need for climate change adaptation plans and donor commitments that give due attention to the increasing risk of displacement.
It is intended to contribute to a global dialogue on the issues raised, and encourages all governments to act decisively in their responses to disaster-induced internal displacement.
