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
-
