Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD): Input to the Sendai Framework Midterm Review “Disaster Displacement and Disaster Risk Reduction”

The Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD) is a State-led initiative. Its objective is to support States and other stakeholders to strengthen the protection of persons displaced across borders in the context of disasters and the adverse effects of climate change, and to prevent or reduce disaster displacement risks in countries of origin. The PDD works across human mobility, DRR, climate change, humanitarian, development, human rights and other policy areas to support States and other stakeholders in implementing the Nansen Initiative Protection Agenda, which was endorsed by more than 100 governmental delegations during a Global Consultation in October 2015.

This document provides input elaborated by the PDD Secretariat in the format of a Policy Brief and Key Messages, with support from its Steering Group and Advisory Committee, and put forward at the Global Platform for DRR in 2022 (GP22). It has been updated to include more recent resources and is written with the intention to give UNDRR the necessary elements and references to ensure that displacement in the context of disasters and the adverse effects of climate change is reflected appropriately in the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework.
