Information brief: The platform on disaster displacement and planned relocation

This information brief compiles information regarding frameworks, processes and guidance relevant to planned relocation that exist at the global, regional and national level. It also provides an overview of the Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD) 's engagement on planned relocation from 2016-2024. Under its 2024-2030 Strategy, the PDD engages to support efforts to "enhance public policies on planned relocation" and specifically to "improve the use of planned relocation as a preventative or responsive measure to disaster/climate risk and displacement". In its efforts to implement the Nansen Initiative Protection Agenda, since 2016, the PDD has always strived to support efforts on planned relocation.

Five essential pillars are addressed:

1. Advocacy and support for the integrated implementation of global policy frameworks and commitments on disaster displacement.
2. Support for policy and normative development to address gaps in the prevention of disaster displacement and the protection of disaster displaced persons.
3. Support for the implementation of effective practices and policy instruments relevant to prevention of risks and to address disaster displacement, at the national, regional and global levels.
4. Support for enhanced understanding, evidence and data on disaster displacement and its impacts to identify challenges and needs.
5. Communication and information sharing on preventing, reducing and addressing disaster displacement.
