The SFDRR provides multiple hooks for policy and action to address displacement as a major human consequence and driver of disaster risk
Integrating displacement in DRR policy and measures will promote policy coherence across multiple ministry or agency mandates and other global agendas where disaster-related displacement is also recognized as a key challenge, including the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Agenda for Humanity and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Disaster displacement is a reality for most of the governments who have adopted the SFDRR; systematic collection, management and access to good quality displacement data is needed to translate commitments into action
The inclusion of displacement in national DRR indicators and disaster loss databases is needed for evidence-based policy that gives priority to reaching people who are vulnerable and at risk of being left behind
