Paragraph text
Monitor, support and build capacity to address climate change-related internal displacement, including displacement due to both sudden and slow onset natural hazards. In that regard, relevant international and national actors should, inter alia, increase awareness and understanding of displacement caused by slow onset natural disasters; develop concrete strategies and measures to follow up on relevant provisions of the Cancun Agreement; and promote a human rights-based approach in all actions and strategies to address displacement related to natural disasters and climate change. Relevant actors should also develop adaptation measures which are comprehensive and include disaster risk reduction and prevention, and the minimization of internal displacement, as well as durable solutions; promote mechanisms for the engagement of affected communities; and develop guidance for States on how to ensure that displacement is taken into account in the climate change debate, on available normative standards and on the human rights implications of that type of displacement;
