Summary

Since 2015, the international community has made significant strides in recognising and addressing disaster displacement in the context of climate change as an important humanitarian and development challenge.1 Policy instruments, stakeholder partnerships, and funding opportunities have been developed in various areas of policymaking related to climate change action, disaster risk reduction (DRR), and human mobility. To date, however, coordination and cross-fertilisation between these policy and action frameworks remain limited. This raises important questions about the governance of disaster displacement: how can the international community integrate these policies and actions and weave a ‘coherent web’ to better protect disaster-displaced persons globally?
