IDPs often face increased risk of infectious diseases, including respiratory and sexually-transmitted diseases, and are particularly exposed to epidemics. Not least in the COVID-19 context, this raises important questions about how health policy and providers can adequately prevent and mitigate the impact of infectious disease in IDP populations. In this webinar, three presentations by leading HIDN researchers share cutting edge research on how infectious diseases move through IDP populations and the implications for health responses.
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.
