Briefing paper: Leaving no one behind: internal displacement and the New Urban Agenda
http://www.internal-displacement.org/publications/2016/leaving-no-one-behind
The New Urban Agenda will be adopted next week in Quito, Ecuador at the UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, Habitat III. The Agenda pledges to “leave no one behind”, including internally displaced people (IDPs).
We are pleased to share with you our briefing paper on urban internal displacement, which can inform discussions at Habitat III and beyond. The brief explains how internal displacement to, from and within urban settings unfolds, the scarce data available on this phenomenon, and the particular challenges that urban IDPs face.
Knowledge about the scale of internal displacement to, from and within cities as a result of violence, conflict, disasters and development projects is neither comprehensive nor precise. The result is that a current and reliable estimate of the global number of IDPs in urban areas does not exist.
IDMC’s key messages to UN member states are:
• Capitalise on the New Urban Agenda to support IDPs's local integration in urban areas.
• Ensure that urban development works does not increase impoverishment and marginalisation by displacing people.
• Address the structural factors that overlap, combine and accumulate to increase the risk of people being displaced to and within urban areas.
• View urban IDPs as social and economic agents with capacities for urban development rather than a burden.
• Improve the collection and analysis of data on urban IDPs to ensure they are not left behind.
We hope you find this briefing paper useful reading, and that it will stimulate further debate around urban displacement. We welcome your comments and suggestions and look forward to receive any urban displacement data you can share with us to enhance knowledge on this subject
