Conflict-driven internal displacement has an acute impact on the health of those who are forced to flee as internally displaced persons (IDPs). However, stratifications of gender, age and social diversity within a single IDP population, as well as broader distinctions between IDP populations in different countries, mean that the disease burden is not equally distributed. How, then, can health policy and interventions respond to the differential health impact of internal displacement in IDP populations? In this webinar, three presentations by leading HIDN researchers ask us to consider how such health outcomes are distributed within, and between, different IDP populations and profiles.
By Advisory Group on Climate Change and Human Mobility and the Loss and Damage and the Challenges Of Human Mobility and Displacement Working Group | Jun 1, 2026 This document, prepared by the Advisory Group on Climate Change and Human Mobility and the Loss and Damage and the Challenges of Human Mobility and Displacement Working Group, provides key messages on migration, displacement, and planned relocation, for key agenda items, workstreams and events at the 2026 June Climate Meetings.
The messages have been endorsed by over 110 organisations and individuals, including civil society organisations, United Nations agencies, academics and experts. In addition to the messages, the groups have provided an advocacy reference document which unpacks in greater detail the entry points on human mobility for each relevant agenda item, providing context and longer messages.
