Thirty Key Publications on Disaster Displacement to Inform the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction 2022
To inform the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GP22) in Bali, Indonesia, from 23-28 May 2022, the PDD Secretariat has prepared a policy brief and key messages, as well as this non-exhaustive list of key publications on disaster displacement in collaboration with the PDD Advisory Committee.
They will allow you to familiarize yourself with the latest publications on disaster displacement, bringing in relevant perspectives from climate change, disaster risk reduction (DRR) and other relevant disciplines.
You may find further resources of relevance to disaster displacement more broadly in our Resources Section.
