Conclusion: A Research and Policy Agenda for Addressing Displacement in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change

This chapter suggests ways forward in both policy and research. It establishes that legal and policy frameworks have little value without implementation, and multiple factors beyond these frameworks affect the extent to which people are protected from and during displacement and whether durable solutions to displacement are ultimately realised. Internationally, UN agencies, treaty monitoring bodies, and mandate holders such as the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons can continue to draw attention to the human rights issues that arise when people are exposed to displacement risk. Civil society, academic, and other actors have an opportunity to highlight displacement in the context of disasters and climate change in shadow reports and other communications that inform these processes. Systematic human rights-based research into national and sub-national legal and policy frameworks provides important insight into good practices, facilitates comparison across countries and regions, and establishes a foundation for technical cooperation.
