Activity under preparation Promoting a development approach towards internal displacement and human mobility induced by disasters, climate change and environmental degradation There is growing evidence that disasters, climate change and environmental degradation have a vast and increasing effect on human mobility trends worldwide, and more specifically on internal displacement and internal migration. Most persons displaced by disasters, climate change and environmental degradation degradation (predominantly women and children) remain within the borders of their homeland and are hence considered Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) or internal (environmental) migrants. Whereas humanitarian support is essential but has its limits, initiatives addressing the long-term collective developmental challenges of this matter are often lagging behind. This action promotes a development-oriented approach in addressing human mobility induced by disasters, climate change and environmental degradation. It aims to build resilience and to take preventive action, effectively manage flows, adapt to and mitigate negative consequences on people¿s rights realization.The action is implemented through 3 parallel measures. The first two measures aim to strengthen the development-oriented approach in relevant global partnerships and processes, by supporting: ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The activities of the Geneva intergovernmental Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD) which the EU will chair for 18 months as of July 2022. This support will allow the EU to better protect those (at risk of being) displaced by disasters and the adverse effects of climate change through global advocacy, policy and normative development, exchange of best practices and capacity building in a selection of countries. ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The implementation of the multilateral UN Secretary General Action Agenda on Solutions for Internally Displaced People. This Action Agenda promotes a development-oriented approach in addressing IDPs situations through increased support at country-level in a selection of countries, engagement with International Financial Institutions (IFI) and improved global coordination. It aims to step up actions to find solutions for IDPs, including through climate change adaptation and resilience. The third measure aims at supporting selected partner countries and regional organizations to increase the understanding of the drivers, patterns, impacts and risks of human mobility, and in particular internal displacement, induced by disaster, climate change and environmental degradation. This will be done through data collection, data analysis and research. Moreover, this will allow to strengthen the capacity of selected partner countries and regional organizations to monitor, prevent, mitigate the impact and help manage the consequences of the issue at stake, with the aim to promote them at global level.&nbsp;
