Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 87
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Summit gave much needed and timely attention to internal displacement. It set States and the international community an important commitment: to reduce internal displacement by half by 2030 in a safe and dignified manner. To achieve this, innovative and creative approaches, bold initiatives and new and enhanced partnerships and collaborations are required. Foremost, it requires political will and leadership to prevent and resolve conflicts that are a major global driver of forced displacement. Reducing displacement requires a new model of national and international action that is predictive rather than reactive and is focused on early warning, preparedness, mitigation and adaptation.
