Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 74
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Changes in the environment and climate have an important impact on human mobility and are predicted to significantly increase displacement and alter its patterns. In 2013 alone, some 22.4 million people were newly displaced by disasters triggered by natural events. In 2010, the Cancun Agreements expressly acknowledged "climate-induced displacement", which the Special Rapporteur addressed in his report to the General Assembly in 2011. Preparedness, environmental risk assessment, mitigation and disaster risk reduction are development imperatives in the context of the challenges posed by climate change-induced displacement. The consequences of climate change, such as environmental degradation and loss of livelihood, are a driver of increased rural-to-urban migration, often to urban slums and informal settlements offering precarious living conditions. Climate change-induced displacement must be addressed in humanitarian and development terms, to alleviate immediate suffering, but also to ensure lasting, development-based solutions for affected persons that avoid the precariousness, marginalization and instability associated with protracted displacement.
