The Platform on Disaster Displacement is a State-led Initiative Working with Partners Towards Better Protection for People at Risk of or Being Displaced in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change.
What we do
We Fill Gaps and Work Across Policy Areas
The PDD concentrates on frameworks that protect displaced people and reduce displacement risks by helping people stay, move out of harm’s way, and find durable solutions. Various policy areas, such as climate change, disaster risk reduction, and human mobility, now consider disaster displacement.
We Bring Together Partners
Creating strong partnerships among a wide range of stakeholders is key to developing a holistic approach to addressing disaster displacement.
We Promote Policy Action
The PDD advocates for the recognition of disaster displacement in global policy frameworks and works with national governments and other relevant stakeholders to make sure policy is translated into action.
We Strengthen Evidence and Data
The PDD continues to support enhanced understanding, evidence, and data on disaster displacement and its impacts is essential to identify specific disaster displacement challenges and address needs.
We Get the Word out
The PDD aims to build a general understanding of the risk that individuals or communities will face when being forced to leave their homes in the context of disasters and climate change, the protection needs of those displaced, and the policy and normative gaps that need to be addressed.
