Knowledge Platform on People on the Move in a Changing Climate
The Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD) aims at following up on the work started by the Nansen Initiative in 2012 and to implement the recommendations of the Nansen Initiative Protection Agenda, endorsed by more than 100 governmental delegations during a Global Consultation in October 2015.
