The Kampala Convention: a road map for action 2014, para. 97

Paragraph
Paragraph text
All relevant stakeholders should monitor, support and build capacity to address climate change-related internal displacement, including displacement due to both sudden and slow-onset natural hazards. In this 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 support Member States in developing adaptation measures that are comprehensive and include disaster risk reduction and prevention, and the minimization of internal displacement, as well as durable solutions. Relevant actors should also 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.
