Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 34 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | In the last several years, the climate change debate, traditionally centred on scientific and economic factors, has gradually begun to encompass the social and human rights dimensions.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 25 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The present section provides definitions of key concepts and terminology used in the climate change debate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change defines climate change as "any change in the climate over time, whether due to natural variability or […] human activity". The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, however, specifically focuses on changes in the climate which are "attributed directly or indirectly to human activity" and are "in addition to natural climate variability". | Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 30 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Since taking up her duties on 1 November 2016, the Special Rapporteur has undertaken a series of bilateral consultations with key stakeholders in order to shape her strategic priorities. This process of consultation culminated on 25 January 2017 with a stakeholder meeting in Geneva for the Special Rapporteur to present and receive feedback on her initial strategic priorities and on the main thematic priorities for her work over the next three years. She was honoured to have her predecessors, Chaloka Beyani and Walter Kälin, on the panel, and attendance by over 35 participants from Member States, United Nations agencies and civil society, who provided their perspectives, views and recommendations. Following the event, on 21 February 2017, the Special Rapporteur had occasion to present her strategic and thematic priorities to a broader, online audience of close to 300 persons worldwide through a web course hosted by Professionals in Humanitarian Action and Protection. | Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons

Durable solutions for internally displaced persons: advancing the agenda: addressing the role of humanitarian and development actors in achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons through peacebuilding in the aftermath of conflict 2013, para. 42 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Persistent barriers hinder cooperation between humanitarian, development and peacebuilding actors in support of durable solutions. They include different planning cycles, time frames, mandates, operational systems, terminology, vocabulary and approaches to working with Governments; use of different criteria to evaluate success and lack of common operationalizable benchmarks or indicators to measure progress towards durable solutions; lack of systematic, comprehensive and collaborative data collection and analysis, in addition to monitoring and evaluation exercises; disconnects between policies and priorities at the field and headquarters levels; inadequate engagement of the wide range of relevant ministries, international organizations (including development banks) and non-governmental organizations with roles to play in supporting solutions; failure to maximize the relative strengths of actors; lack of national and international ownership of the issue and lack of focused or coordinated leadership in support of solutions; lack of technical capacity and sustained support for solutions at the local, national and international levels; inadequate access to long-term funding, in particular to scale up successful pilots and integrate initiatives designed to support solutions into broader development programmes; that donors have separate funding streams for humanitarian and development programmes and struggle to ensure cooperation and coordination between them; insufficient consideration of durable solutions issues in transition and mission drawdown plans; failure to engage the private sector in developing innovative solutions; and insufficient awareness and inadequate integration of displacement considerations into development, peacebuilding and human rights capacity-building efforts. | Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons
