Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 51

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Those States with a history of displacement due to disaster or with histories of internal conflict should be proactive and have displacement preparedness measures in place. Where the occurrence of disaster is cyclical, adequate preparedness and mitigation measures must be explored to prepare for potential displacement flows. The Cancun Adaptation Framework, adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Cancun, Mexico, in 2010, invites Parties "to strengthen and, where necessary, establish and/or designate national-level institutional arrangements, with a view to enhancing work on the full range of adaptation actions, from planning to implementation". These include displacement-related adaptation measures. During his visit to South Sudan, the Special Rapporteur called on the authorities to explore and implement effective disaster risk reduction and mitigation measures, especially in areas prone to repeated disaster (A/HRC/26/33/Add.3).
