Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 85
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- This means increasing international focus and cooperation on risk reduction and resilience based on the 2015 Sendai Framework and the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. The Summit addressed displacement in the context of disasters and climate change and participants called for the development of an international mechanism and legal framework for the protection of those displaced by the adverse impacts of climate change. The 2010 Cancun Agreements recognized climate-induced displacement, and the Special Rapporteur examined this in his report to the General Assembly in 2011 (A/66/285). Disaster-related internal displacement is closely linked with disaster-related cross-border displacement. He welcomes the Agenda for the Protection of Cross-Border Displaced Persons in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change endorsed by 110 countries in 2015 under the Nansen Initiative.
