Conflict-driven internal displacement has an acute impact on the health of those who are forced to flee as internally displaced persons (IDPs). Nowhere is that negative impact more evident than in the prevalence of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health problems that appear to affect male and female IDPs in different ways. How, then, can health policy and interventions respond to the crisis of mental health in these underserved IDP populations? In this webinar, two presentations by leading HIDN researchers share important findings on IDP mental health that ask us to consider how interventions can best respond to this emergency.
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.
