Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 90
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Delivering better means learning the lessons and continuing to do what is done well while improving on it. It means being more strategic and collaborative, and working differently towards shared goals. Transcending the humanitarian-development divide will allow integrated action that invests in building self-reliance and resilience from the outset. To reduce displacement as a result of climate change, sudden and slow-onset disasters and conflict, we must act now and establish effective safeguards and benchmarks that will avoid future lost generations of displaced. No one should be left behind and the World Humanitarian Summit has taken important steps, but its commitments and promise must be realized in practice.
