[MigrantCause.com] Fwd: New publication: Global Estimates 2015: People displaced by disasters

 

Dear colleague,

I am pleased to share with you IDMC's latest Global Estimates 2015: People displaced by disasters report.

IDMC figures estimate that more than 19.3 million people were forced to flee their homes by disasters in 100 countries in 2014. Hundreds of thousands more are still displaced following disasters in previous years.

Since 2008, an average of 26.4 million people per year have been displaced from their homes by disasters brought on by natural hazards. This is the equivalent to one person being displaced every second.

The time is opportune for displacement to be better addressed in major global policy agenda and their implementation in the post-2015 period. A comprehensive approach to displacement will help to forge strong links and continuity between these initiatives.

For the full report, maps, dataset, infographics and more: click here: http://www.internal-displacement.org/assets/publications/2015/20150713-global-estimates-2015-en.pdf?utm_source=IDMC+Subscribers&utm_campaign=d670ed9f73-20150720_GE_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_a36ca61009-d670ed9f73-418577169

I remain at your disposal should you have any comments or questions.
